The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Iar Sa Brasov IAR 823 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 N2087P, 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 Gold Mountain LLC, an LLC, certificate issued April 16, 2025, expires April 30, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 2, 2000, 23 years after the 1977 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 36 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2087P was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Fredenburg Richard A CHALLENGER II (serial 1031, cancelled January 16, 1997); Piper PA-23 (serial 23-675, cancelled January 9, 1964). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
