Cessna 206

Photos of Cessna 206 in idential paint scheme can be seen, for example, here: http://bakutu3.rssing.com/chan-1996316/all_p51.html (you need to scroll for a while before you get to the right photo). The registration and other text were most likely digitally removed during production of the film. The registration says RA-2459G, but there isn’t much information on this aircraft in the open sources. The FAVT registry has this plane listed as «Iris-206», which means that the aircraft is registered as a “unique instance”. This is basically a loophole which allows to make very strict airworthiness requirements imposed by Russian aviation laws a little easier. Aircraft weighting less than 1,8 tonnes and holding up to 4 passengers can be registered as “unique instances”, making it easier to obtain airworthiness certificate. For example, “unique instances” can be maintained by the owner himself, while “regular” aircraft must be overhauled by certified factory. Because of that, most small private airplanes in Russia are registered as “unique instances”. But when registering aircraft as such, the owner cannot use real manufacturer name (such as “Cessna”), some other name must be used. Serial numbers are also not used for this reason. Juras14 (talk)
