Built of
steel tube, wood and fabric
A welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings, all covered in fabric: the construction of the 1930s and 1940s, which makes wood rot and fabric age the inspection items. The Pitts: a welded steel-tube fuselage and wooden wings under fabric. This is how the Aerotek Inc PITTS S-2B 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 N901Z, 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 Braddock Zachary J, an individual, certificate issued March 26, 2019, expires March 31, 2029. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 5125 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N901Z was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Sircco MJ55F2 (serial 181, cancelled January 4, 1971); Wilkinson Robert E OSPREY (serial 1, cancelled November 7, 1968). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
