The public federal record on N8093Z, 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.

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 16, 2016, 27 years after the 1989 manufacture year.

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

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8093Z was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-28-181 (serial 28-8090103, cancelled October 12, 1979). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
