The public federal record on N4800Q, 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 Van Bortel INC, a corporation, certificate issued April 12, 2023, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated August 11, 2016, 38 years after the 1978 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 18503562 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N4800Q was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna A188B (serial 18802538T, cancelled September 22, 1980). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (September 17, 2026), and 1 release. The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N4800Q. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
