A hot-air balloon: a coated nylon envelope, stainless-steel cables, and a wicker or aluminium basket under a propane burner. This is how the Balony Kubicek Spol Sro BB30 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 N911PE, 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 Irwin Patrick S, an individual, certificate issued August 31, 2021, expires August 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for balloon, dated October 4, 2021, consistent with the 2021 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 1854 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N911PE was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Quicksilver Aircraft GT-500 (serial 288, cancelled June 14, 2012). 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]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N911PE. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
