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.

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.
