The public federal record on N5118Y, 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 Blose Robert S, an individual, certificate issued January 7, 2016, expires January 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for operating light-sport previously certificated, dated September 23, 2006, consistent with the 2006 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial A0500910H for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N5118Y was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-23-250 (serial 272149, cancelled August 22, 1997). 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 N5118Y. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
