Cessna 208B

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codesTennessee

N850FE is a Cessna 208B, a fixed-wing airplane with one motor with turboprop engines. It has 12 seats. It is registered to Federal Express Corporation, a corporation in Memphis, Tennessee. The registration is valid: it was issued on May 16, 1989 and expires on August 31, 2027. 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 AirDialog, LLC, so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 208 Caravan 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 N850FE, 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.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N850FE according to the deregistered file. [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
