aluminium
The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bombardier DHC-8 Dash 8 and Q400 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 N4451B, 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 November 17, 2023, expires November 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 4451 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N4451B was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Boeing 720-059B (serial 18086, cancelled June 27, 2013); Cessna 170B (serial 26795, cancelled March 25, 1958). 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 N4451B. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
