The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Metal structure; fabric-covered control surfaces. This is how the Yakovlev YAK-50 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 N50BK, 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 Ten G LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 12, 2025, expires March 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 5, 2010, 28 years after the 1982 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]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 822307 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N50BK was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna S550 (serial S550-0031, cancelled September 7, 2004). 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]

ATTENTIONAccident and incident record
