Records check free · 1 to understand · 4 clear

The public federal record on N4518E, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, a co-owned, certificate issued April 17, 2023, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated December 15, 1978, consistent with the 1978 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial AA5B1039 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4518E was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 7CCM (serial 7CCM-116, cancelled December 4, 1956). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N4518E. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
