The public federal record on N318DH, 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 International Air Services INC Owner Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued January 28, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 15, 2014, 44 years after the 1970 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2163 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N318DH was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Bell Helicopter Textron Canada 407 (serial 53823, cancelled June 25, 2008); Swearingen SA227-AT (serial AT469, cancelled July 30, 2001). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

Factors were the pilot in command initiating the flight without proper weather reporting facilities at the destination, the flightcrew not flying to an alternate destination, the flightcrew not following company and FAA procedures/directives, the lack of certification of the second pilot, the operator not following company and FAA procedures/directives, and the dark night and the low ceiling.
