Built of
aluminium with composite parts
A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. Largely composite fuselage shells on the newer designs. This is how the Leonardo Spa AW169 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 N309TC, 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 County of Travis, a government body, certificate issued August 26, 2019, expires August 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated June 24, 2019, consistent with the 2019 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 69088 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N309TC was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Cessna 208B (serial 208B2050, cancelled December 21, 2012); Gates Lear Jet 24D (serial 309, cancelled June 17, 2010). 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 N309TC. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
