A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. This is how the Bell 206 JetRanger and LongRanger 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 N42F, 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 Ochoco Wood Products LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 31, 2025, expires January 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated September 23, 1994, consistent with the 1994 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 52100 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N42F was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 182 (serial 33702, cancelled July 30, 1979). 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 N42F. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
