The public federal record on N844AK, 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.

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N844AK was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Robinson Helicopter R44 II (serial 10109, cancelled August 11, 2005). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
