The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bell UH-1 Huey (Iroquois) 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 N133, 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.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to Brown Helicopter INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 11, 2014, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated February 11, 1997, 31 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 65-09847 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N133 was previously assigned to 6 other aircraft: Hoffmeyer Robert W MONI STANDARD (serial 00133, cancelled July 31, 1992); Watts GRUDIEAIRE G-20 (serial 1, cancelled May 13, 1976); Beech C-45H (serial AF-848, cancelled January 29, 1962). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
