The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Swearingen SA-26 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 N2820G, 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 Colin Irons Diving and Pools Service, a corporation, certificate issued January 4, 2024, expires January 31, 2031. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial T26-178 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N2820G was previously assigned to 3 other aircraft: Kaup James E JC31A (serial W2-130, cancelled June 6, 2013); Piper PA-28RT-201T (serial 28R7931211, cancelled October 20, 1980); Champion 7ECA (serial 472, cancelled February 12, 1968). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

CLEARAccident and incident record
