The public federal record on N48518, 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.
Registration status is "N-number assigned but not yet registered". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]
Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 61B for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N48518 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Noorduyn UC-64A (serial 503, cancelled June 7, 1950). 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]
