The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Iai Ltd GULFSTREAM G280 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 N44M, 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 Mellon Seward Prosser, an individual, certificate issued December 15, 2022, expires December 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 2241 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

N44M was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Lockheed B-34 (serial 4820, cancelled February 9, 1955); Dallas Aviation School DALLAS 1 (serial 1, cancelled May 22, 1930). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [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]

CLEARAccident and incident record
