The public federal record on N118A, 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.
Valid registration to Edgerton George Murray Trustee, a co-owned, certificate issued October 2, 2015, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 16, 2000, 23 years after the 1977 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18503339 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N118A was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Speyer James AVID AMPHIBIAN (serial 6, cancelled December 28, 1993); Lockheed 749A-79 (serial 2615, cancelled November 23, 1970). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
