N297SH

Eurocopter AS 350 B3

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codesAlaska

N297SH is an Eurocopter AS 350 B3, a rotorcraft with turboshaft engines (a helicopter or multicopter). It has 6 seats. It is registered to Jc Aircraft Leasing LLC, an LLC in Wasilla, Alaska. The registration is valid: it was issued on September 19, 2022 and expires on September 30, 2029. 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 Soloy Helicopters LLC, so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.
