The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bombardier CL-600 Challenger and CRJ 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 N651AM, 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 Airmed International LLC, an LLC, certificate issued March 25, 2025, expires March 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated December 3, 2015, 4 years after the 2011 manufacture year.

The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N651AM was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Aircraft Mfg & Development Co CH 2000 (serial 20-1021, cancelled January 25, 2018). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
