Built of
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. A crop sprayer; the fabric covering is easy to repair in the field. This is how the Piper PA-25 Pawnee 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 N54904, 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 Quality Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued May 17, 2023, expires May 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Restricted certificate for agriculture and pest control; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 25-7656033 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N54904 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Ryan Aeronautical ST3KR (serial 1748, cancelled March 24, 1950). 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 N54904. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
