The public federal record on N489AL, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated September 11, 2009, 53 years after the 1956 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18-4769 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N489AL was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Hehl Adam PA18-150 (serial 001, cancelled April 27, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
