Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. This is how the Diamond Aircraft DA 42 Twin Star family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 42.N024 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N42NG according to the deregistered file. [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]
