The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. Pressurised cabin. This is how the Piper PA-46 Malibu, Mirage, Matrix and M-Class 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 N9253C, 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 Jetstream LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 16, 2026, expires January 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated February 10, 1995, consistent with the 1995 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 4622183 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N9253C was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 180 (serial 31352, cancelled April 10, 1973). 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 N9253C. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms
