From the FAA registry file of October 24, 2026. ADs below are matched by the registry's airframe and engine model codes. They may apply; each AD's applicability can narrow it by serial number, part number or installed equipment. This is not a compliance determination. The registry lists only the engine series, so ADs for every Austro E4 model are included.

## Information bulletins (advisory)

None matched.

## NTSB investigations (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB WPR20WA011](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/WPR20WA011), Oct 15, 2019: Diamond DA42 (N181CW), Singapore, Singapore, incident, minor damage

## FAA accident and incident reports

None matched to N181CW.

## Service difficulty reports

None filed for this aircraft. Matched to this aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model.

## Service difficulty reports on N181CW not matched to an aircraft (5)

They name N181CW, but no registry record covers the date, the aircraft registered then was built later, or the report describes another aircraft.
