N296QS

Embraer S A EMB-545

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codes

N296QS is an Embraer S A EMB-545, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turbofan engines. It has 11 seats. It is registered to an owner whose details are withheld at their request. The registration is valid: it was issued on September 15, 2026 and expires on September 30, 2033. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of NetJets Aviation, Inc., so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. This is how the Embraer EMB-545 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 N296QS, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, a co-owned, certificate issued September 15, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. Fractional ownership is recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 55010215 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N296QS was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Dassault Aviation FALCON 2000 (serial 196, cancelled June 26, 2020). 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 N296QS. 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.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization

AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
