The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Boeing 737 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 N27276, 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 United Airlines INC, a corporation, certificate issued December 30, 2022, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated August 1, 2022, consistent with the 2021 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 64611 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N27276 was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Porterfield LP-65 (serial 759, cancelled November 13, 2014); Piper PA-31-325 (serial 317712067, cancelled October 26, 1989). 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 N27276. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
