steel tube and fabric
The fuselage is a welded steel-tube frame covered in fabric, with metal or wooden wing spars under fabric-covered wings; the fabric is replaced every few decades. This is how the Aviat Inc A-1 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 N49353, 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 Skye Equipment LLC, an LLC, certificate issued June 10, 2026, expires June 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated December 30, 1992, consistent with the 1992 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1217 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N49353 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Fairchild M-62A-3 (serial FT-544, cancelled February 6, 1952). 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 N49353. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
