I know this subject has been touched on before and you get the aircraft information from the FAA Type Certificate but how can you get 6 seats in a C-182S and 7 in a PA32RT-300T? Also, I could find no mention of 124 MPH in the FAA records regarding the Lance II. ID’s N72US, N277US, N49US & N3CG ---

We get that information from the FAA registry database, not the type certificates. ---

But the registry doesn’t have speeds and seats ---

Can FlightAware correct it here? ---

> [@rhouck](#): > > Can FlightAware correct it here? If you download the registry you will see that all of the aircraft you mentioned (except 3CG, which isn’t in the database that I downloaded a couple of months ago) are shown with 6 seats. HOWEVER, I did go a step further and looked at the Type Certificate. In this case, the registry appears to be wrong because the TC shows only 4 seats for all models since the aircraft was introduced in 1956. ---

😕 So, what’s the word on correcting it in FlightAware? ---

We’re not going to make ad-hoc changes to the FAA registration database, sorry.
