The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 152 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 N152BB, 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 Jensen Harold G, a co-owned, certificate issued April 14, 2011, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 6, 1984, 5 years after the 1979 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 15283831 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N152BB was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Messerschmitt-Boelkow-Blohm-Gm BO-105C (serial S-43, cancelled June 27, 2012). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 30, 2026). [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N152BB. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
