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. This is how the Diamond Aircraft DA 40 Diamond Star 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 N251PA, 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 Flight Stars Az LLC, an LLC, certificate issued June 28, 2026, expires June 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated October 15, 2020, consistent with the 2020 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 40.NC103 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N251PA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mcdonnell Douglas Corp DC-9-82 (serial 53180, cancelled December 6, 2011). 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 N251PA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
