The public federal record on N618DS, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 56386 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N618DS was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (serial 4335, cancelled October 13, 2016); Cessna 172M (serial 17264817, cancelled June 7, 2005). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
