A mostly aluminium airframe with composite parts where they save weight: control surfaces, fairings, the tail or the rotor blades. This is how the Bell 206 JetRanger and LongRanger 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 N652HA, 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 Helicopter Applicators INC, a corporation, certificate issued February 23, 2023, expires February 28, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated April 19, 2023, 27 years after the 1996 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 52175 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N652HA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Bell 47G-2A (serial 52, cancelled June 3, 2015). 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]
