Wooden wing spars on most Bellanca-built Citabrias. This is how the Bellanca 7 Citabria 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 N501DW, 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.
Valid registration to Parmar Bluffs LLC, an LLC, certificate issued September 7, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
The airworthiness certificate on file is dated May 2, 2014, 18 years after the 1996 manufacture year. 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]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 939-76 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
N501DW was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Avions Mudry Et Cie CAP 10B (serial 194, cancelled January 29, 2008). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 15, 2026). [3]
No NTSB investigation records located under N501DW. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.
AD compliance against the logbooks and flight-activity reconciliation are researched layers of the full report.
