Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. A gyroplane with a composite cabin on a stainless-steel mast. This is how the Rotorsport Uk Ltd CAVALON 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 N222DM, 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 Orchard Lane LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 25, 2022, expires May 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Primary certificate, dated August 1, 2022, consistent with the 2022 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial RSUK-V00513 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N222DM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Metke MSJ-7 (serial 24, cancelled January 21, 1976). 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 N222DM. 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.
