The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bombardier DHC-8 Dash 8 and Q400 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 N948AC, 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 Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporation, certificate issued September 2, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport; the FAA file gives no certificate date and no manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 4221 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N948AC was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Airbus A330-243 (serial 948, cancelled March 12, 2015); Cessna 152 (serial 15284199, cancelled August 12, 2004). 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 N948AC. 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.
