The public federal record on N9185Z, 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 Airborne Tactical Solutions LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 5, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 4, 2002, 36 years after the 1966 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 1228 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N9185Z was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Piper PA-28R-201 (serial 2837033, cancelled November 2, 1993); Bruton Gyrocopter BENSON DESIGN RMB-1 (serial 101, cancelled October 14, 1970). 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]
1 NTSB record under N9185Z: Accident on July 10, 2016 at Grants Pass, OR: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [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.
