Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. This is how the Diamond Aircraft DA 42 Twin Star family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N1836T, 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 Andromeda Air LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 26, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 42.N159 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1836T was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Raytheon Aircraft Company B36TC (serial EA595, cancelled March 24, 1997); Piper PA-28-140 (serial 28-7125256, cancelled August 24, 1972). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
