The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Cessna 172 Skyhawk 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 N27CS, 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 Feauto Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued July 2, 2025, expires July 31, 2032. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal; utility, dated July 24, 1964, consistent with the 1964 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 17251680 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

N27CS was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech B100 (serial BE-63, cancelled January 20, 2015); Cessna 210L (serial 21059978, cancelled June 11, 1976). 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
