The public federal record on N4638A, 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 Tropical Air Lease LLC, an LLC, certificate issued September 8, 2011, expires September 30, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated November 9, 1971, consistent with the 1971 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial TC-1408 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4638A was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 32236, cancelled February 20, 1956). 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 N4638A. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
