Built of
composite
The 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 Alisport SILENT 2 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 N39TM, 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 Ledford James D, an individual, certificate issued March 7, 2023, expires March 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for racing; exhibition, dated May 16, 2017, consistent with the 2017 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2087 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N39TM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper PA-23-250 (serial 27-4857, cancelled October 11, 2011). 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 N39TM. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
