The public federal record on N8100L, 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.
Valid registration to Dynamic Avlease INC, a corporation, certificate issued October 23, 2013, expires October 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 2, 2014, 25 years after the 1989 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 146 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N8100L was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172H (serial 17256300, cancelled June 3, 2008). 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]
2 NTSB records under N8100L: Accident on March 6, 2005 at Waldport, OR: minor injuries, substantial damage. Accident on August 9, 1992 at Lakeview, OR: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.

Aircraft on the NTSB record: Cessna 172H · operated under 091
The pilot's failure to attain sufficient altitude/clearance during the takeoff initial climb, which resulted in an inflight collision with trees. A factor was the tall grass on the turf runway, which slowed the airplane's acceleration during the takeoff roll.
