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 560 Citation V, Ultra, Encore and Excel 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 N818SH, 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 Silverhawk Aviation INC, a corporation, certificate issued March 17, 2021, expires March 31, 2028. No fractional interest recorded. [1]

CLEARAirworthiness certificate

Standard certificate for transport, dated September 29, 2001, consistent with the 2001 manufacture year. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 560-0581 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N818SH was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Lafferty John PITTS S1S (serial 1017S1S, cancelled November 16, 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 N818SH. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]
