A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. Aluminium fuselage and wings, composite tail.

The public federal record on N428AA, 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 Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued December 15, 2020, expires December 31, 2027. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated December 11, 2020, consistent with the 2020 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 10299 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N428AA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mcdonnell Douglas DC-9-82(MD-82) (serial 49340, cancelled May 19, 2009). 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 N428AA. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
