Built of

A welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in fabric: the construction of the 1930s and 1940s, which makes wood rot and fabric age the inspection items. A steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings under fabric. This is how the Monocoupe 90 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 N2701C, 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 Cournoyer John J, a co-owned, certificate issued March 23, 2017, expires March 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for research and development; 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 AF-826 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2701C was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna R182 (serial R18200220, cancelled February 28, 1980); Cessna 170B (serial 26245, cancelled January 12, 1960). 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 N2701C. 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.
