The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

N6122F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 210H (serial 21059022, cancelled June 27, 1974). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
