The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 177 Cardinal 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 N34427, 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 Cessna 177B Cardinal LLC, an LLC, certificate issued May 26, 2026, expires May 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated September 26, 1972, consistent with the 1972 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 17701797 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N34427 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aeronca 65-CA (serial CA14531, cancelled September 2, 1948). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N34427. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
