The public federal record on N8521Q, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control; forest, dated February 25, 2005, consistent with the 2005 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 502B-2572 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8521Q was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna U206F (serial U20603377, cancelled July 8, 1976). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N8521Q. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
