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 N46211, 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 Carver Clarence K Trustee, an individual, certificate issued April 26, 2023, expires April 30, 2030. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

NOTEAirworthiness certificate

Multiple certificate for standard; restricted; aerial advertising; 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 17257112 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N46211 was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Taylorcraft DCO-65 (serial L-5042, cancelled October 10, 1955). 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 N46211. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
