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

N89WL was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Keating Joseph M Q-200 (serial 2820, cancelled January 17, 2018). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
