A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. Composite main rotor blades.

The public federal record on N4338G, 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 Southwest Aviation Enterprises, a corporation, certificate issued January 30, 2024, expires January 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated September 21, 2023, consistent with the 2023 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 56358 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4338G was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Mcculloch Aircraft Corp. J-2 (serial 048, cancelled March 8, 2011). 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 N4338G. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
