An ultralight-style airframe: bolted aluminium tubing under sailcloth or fabric, the construction of weight-shift trikes and the lightest two-seaters. A weight-shift trike: an aluminium-tube carriage under a sailcloth wing. This is how the Cougar 1 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 N1594, 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 Ogden Christopher S, an individual, certificate issued July 7, 2006, expires January 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for amateur built; the FAA file gives no certificate date. [1]

ATTENTIONPrior registrations of this airframe

This airframe (serial 1) previously flew as N6331T, N9160R. N9160R cancelled March 18, 2013; N6331T cancelled August 22, 2006. The conveyance sequence lives in the FAA aircraft records file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1594 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Woodson Engineering Co 3A (serial 12, cancelled October 2, 1929). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N1594, N6331T, N9160R. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
