The public federal record on N9081L, 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.

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