Bell 205A-1
N551HQ is a Bell 205A-1, a rotorcraft with turboshaft engines (a helicopter or multicopter). It has 15 seats. It is registered to Tvpx Aircraft Solutions INC Trustee, a corporation in North Salt Lake, Utah. The registration is valid: it was issued on February 26, 2018 and expires on February 29, 2028. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.
Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of HeliQwest International, Inc., so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The public federal record on N551HQ, 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 Tvpx Aircraft Solutions INC Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued February 26, 2018, expires February 29, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]
No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]
No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 30088 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]
No other airframe has carried N551HQ according to the deregistered file. [2]
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]
No NTSB investigation records located under N551HQ. 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.
