The public federal record on N185W, 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 Zeiger William O JR, a co-owned, certificate issued April 12, 2018, expires April 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Multiple certificate for standard; restricted; other, dated September 5, 1979, consistent with the 1978 manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18503589 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N185W was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna A185F (serial 18502559, cancelled April 6, 1976); Alhambra Glider Club ALHAMBRA PRIM GLIDER (serial 1, cancelled December 15, 1931). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
No bills of sale, loans or releases have reached the registry in recent weeks. The index covers only recent filings; older liens are in the records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N185W. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
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.
