- steel tube and fabricThe fuselage is a welded steel-tube frame covered in fabric, with metal or wooden wing spars under fabric-covered wings; the fabric is replaced every few decades. Wooden wing spars on most Bellanca-built Citabrias. This is how the Bellanca 7 Citabria 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 N116SD, 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 A L Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 22, 2026, expires February 28, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
Standard certificate for normal; acrobatic; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 359-73 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N116SD was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bell 47G-3B-1 (serial 3629, cancelled date not given). 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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N116SD. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [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.
