The public federal record on N4637U, 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 Wright Air Service INC, a corporation, certificate issued January 30, 2020, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated April 26, 1979, consistent with the 1979 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial U20605017 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4637U was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180G (serial 18051337, cancelled January 10, 1964). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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 N4637U. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
