The public federal record on N185Y, 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.
Registration status is "First notice for registration renewal". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18502224 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N185Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech J35 (serial D-5333, cancelled August 13, 2012). 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]
1 NTSB record under N185Y: Accident on January 12, 1992 at Knoxville, TN: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
