The public federal record on N180US, 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

Valid registration to Wilmington Trust CO Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued June 7, 2016, expires June 30, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated July 12, 2001, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1525 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N180US was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aerospatiale SA315B (serial 2631, cancelled April 29, 1998). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 9, 2026). The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N180US. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
