The public federal record on N8401M, 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.

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 34-8133137 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8401M was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A150K (serial A15000101, cancelled June 24, 1975). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N8401M. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
