The U.S. aircraft register, updated daily
FAA aircraft register · data as of November 2, 2026 · refreshed every morning

Every aircraft on the U.S. register, in plain English

The aviation ecosystem as one graph: every U.S.-registered aircraft, rebuilt daily from the FAA's own file; every public airport with its weather, notices and flight planning; a route planner with the winds aloft and the time en route; every airline route, charter operator, FBO, flight school, repair station and examiner; every NTSB accident since 1982; and where the aircraft are right now — each record linked to the others, in plain English.

Plan a flight

The weather along your route and at both ends, winds aloft, warnings and pilot reports in plain English, and the time en route. For planning, not a briefing.

Check an aircraft

Buying, insuring, or just curious: the FAA record in words, the aircraft's earlier tail numbers and accidents, where it is right now, and a free records check.

Who flies where

Every airline route the government records, with flights, seats and passengers month by month, and each airline's aircraft and bases.

Charter operators and brokers

Every company holding an FAA charter certificate, with its base, its callsign, the aircraft on the certificate and where they are right now; and the brokers who arrange charter flights.

FBOs and fuel

Who sells fuel and services at the field, which airports report jet fuel or avgas, and the FBOs' own pages with what each offers.

Learn to fly, get tested

Flight schools, college programmes and flying clubs, and the FAA's pilot, medical and mechanic examiners nearest you.

Fix it, find a part

Repair stations and what they are rated for, the parts that fail most and the approved replacements, and the FAA's orders by model.

The numbers

Charts and tables across the whole register and every NTSB case, each with a plain table and a data file behind it, for a report, a story or a study.

How this site works

Every night at 11:30 pm Central the FAA publishes a fresh copy of the whole register. Each morning this site downloads it, checks it, translates every code into words, cleans up maker names, and rebuilds every page. Nothing is added from other sources, and owners who asked the FAA to withhold their details stay withheld here.
