The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 425 Conquest I 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 N42AW, 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 Williams C Allen, an individual, certificate issued May 28, 2019, expires May 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated December 18, 1981, consistent with the 1981 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 425-0136 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N42AW was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Downer REPUBLIC RC-3 (serial 587, cancelled November 26, 2012). 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 N42AW. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
