I've noticed that also, and have never understood why for sure, but I
think it may be related to many Cessna's using a number for the model
rather than a name. When I owned a 182 I always used Skylane in the
call sign and most controllers responded in kind, but some would reply
using Cessna.


I always used "Cherokee" for Piper singles but the model name for Piper twins.
Cessnas were either "Cessna" or "Twin Cessna". Beech singles were called
"Beech" but I used the model name for Beech twins. No consistency, I guess.
