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 182 Skylane 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 N284CS, 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 Sc Aviation LLC, an LLC, certificate issued July 8, 2026, expires July 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for normal, dated February 11, 2020, consistent with the 2020 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 18283094 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N284CS was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Boeing 737-500 (serial 27356, cancelled February 11, 2013); Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (serial 3544, cancelled November 25, 2009). 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 N284CS. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
