A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades.

The public federal record on N162SH, 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 Castro Be LLC, an LLC, certificate issued April 25, 2023, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 7607 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N162SH was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Agusta Aerospace Corp AW119 MKII (serial 14707, cancelled June 24, 2008); Hendricks Sheldon 162F (serial 6272, cancelled September 16, 2005). 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 N162SH. 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.
