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 A185 Skywagon 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 N76SC, 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 Beaver Creek Adventures LLC, an LLC, certificate issued July 13, 2026, expires July 31, 2033. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate date

The airworthiness certificate on file is dated October 10, 1996, 15 years after the 1981 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 18504206 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N76SC was previously assigned to 2 other aircraft: Beech 95-B55 (serial TC-2342, cancelled December 2, 1993); Piper PA-31T (serial 31T8020091, cancelled July 18, 1990). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]
