- compositeThe airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. This is how the Diamond Aircraft DA 42 Twin Star 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 N342T, 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.
Valid registration to Direct Capital Holdings LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 3, 2024, expires March 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 21, 2011, 4 years after the 2007 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 42.AC042 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N342T was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech E18S (serial BA-366, cancelled September 27, 2004); Piper PA-18 (serial 18-2456, cancelled September 13, 1965). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
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]
1 NTSB record under N342T: Accident on January 21, 1983 at Naples, FL: no injuries, substantial damage. Details below. [4]
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.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
