Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N18AC, 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

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N18AC was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Douglas B18-B SPECIAL (serial 2505, cancelled July 21, 1977). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N18AC. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
