steel tube and aluminium
A welded steel-tube frame carries the loads, with aluminium (and some fibreglass) skins over it. An open steel-tube frame. This is how the Schweizer 269 300 series helicopters 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 N1761D, 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 Airwest Helicopters INC, a corporation, certificate issued September 13, 2021, expires September 30, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated December 21, 2004, consistent with the 2004 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 0191 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N1761D was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 170A (serial 20204, cancelled May 1, 1952). 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 N1761D. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
