Bell 205A-1

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codesNew Mexico

N41WL is a Bell 205A-1, a rotorcraft with turboshaft engines (a helicopter or multicopter). It has 15 seats. It is registered to Copter Lease LLC Trustee, an LLC in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The registration is valid: it was issued on August 21, 2025 and expires on August 31, 2032. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of Heli-1 Corporation, so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bell 205 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 N41WL, 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 Copter Lease LLC Trustee, an LLC, certificate issued August 21, 2025, expires August 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 30262 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N41WL was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Wayne D Lohmeyer AVID FLYER (serial 1234D, cancelled January 6, 2020); Beech F90 (serial LA-60, cancelled February 14, 2007). 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 N41WL. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
