The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Metal structure; fabric-covered control surfaces. This is how the Yakovlev YAK 18 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N8018T, 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.

ATTENTIONRegistration and identity

Registration status is "Registration pending". An aircraft cannot be operated on an invalid or expired registration; resolve this with the FAA before any transaction. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 15, 2022, 42 years after the 1980 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 22202040093 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N8018T was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Triggs Willard A WT3 (serial 165, cancelled May 13, 2013); Cessna 175A (serial 56718, cancelled June 24, 1970). 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 N8018T. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
