The U.S. aircraft register, updated daily
FAA aircraft register · data as of October 14, 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.

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.
