The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Piper PA-28 Cherokee, Warrior, Archer and Arrow 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 N41265, 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 Sunrise Aviation Y1N LLC, an LLC, certificate issued February 13, 2025, expires February 29, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated January 16, 1974, consistent with the 1974 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 28-7405087 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N41265 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Piper J3C-65 (serial 7916, cancelled January 6, 1949). 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 N41265. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
