The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Rockwell International 114 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 N56CV, 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 Vaughn Geoffrey, an individual, certificate issued March 5, 2022, expires March 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated June 16, 2000, 24 years after the 1976 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 14017 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N56CV was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Veith Charles KOLB SLING SHOT KIT (serial SS-00-1-00025, cancelled October 4, 2001). 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

1 NTSB record under N56CV: Accident on July 24, 2001 at Goodview, MN: fatal, substantial damage (1 fatal). Details below. [4]
