aluminium
The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. An all-metal glider. This is how the Let L-23 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 N383BA, 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 Tampa Bay Soaring Society INC, a corporation, certificate issued October 22, 2015, expires October 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N383BA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild F-27J (serial 093, cancelled July 3, 1991). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N383BA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
