Built of
composite
The airframe is composite: carbon fibre or glass fibre set in resin, moulded in large pieces with few joints, which gives smooth shapes but needs different inspection and repair methods from metal. This is how the Jmb Aircraft S R O VL-3 family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial VL-3-442 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N888UT according to the deregistered file. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

1 document received recently: Bill of sale (evidence of ownership) (October 15, 2026). [3]
