Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. Composite skins and wings on a titanium-and-steel frame; aerobatic. This is how the Sukhoi SU-29 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 N54CP, 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 an owner whose details are withheld, an individual, certificate issued July 23, 2021, expires July 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Experimental certificate for exhibition, dated November 10, 1993, consistent with the 1993 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 75-02 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N54CP was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Convair 22M (serial 46, cancelled March 21, 1989). 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 N54CP. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

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.
