The public federal record on N49335, 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 June 1, 1998, 12 years after the 1986 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 5102 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N49335 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Consolidated Vultee BT-15 (serial 1284, cancelled November 12, 1947). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
