The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Beechcraft 200 King Air 200 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 N98RA, 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 Denaina Air Taxi LLC, an LLC, certificate issued January 18, 2023, expires January 31, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated July 12, 2011, 32 years after the 1979 manufacture year. A re-issued certificate commonly follows export and re-import, a rebuild, or a return to the register after cancellation. The cause is documented in the FAA aircraft records file, which the full report obtains. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial BB439 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N98RA was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Beech 58 (serial TH-26, cancelled August 27, 2008). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
