The data behind eFlight, for registered users
The same database that powers this site — the FAA's seven files joined into one clean file, every code translated into words, maker names cleaned up, each aircraft sorted into sustainable, drone or conventional — and the graph files that link every record to the others. Rebuilt every morning. To use them, register below and email us; we reply with a download link.

Sent as a link after registration; each link works for seven days and always gives that morning's build.
Tables inside the database
aircraft (one row per registered aircraft, 57 columns), aircraft_ref (make and model lookup), engine_ref, documents, reserved, dealers, deregistered, and meta (data date and row counts). Opens with any SQLite tool, Python, R or DuckDB.
The graph files
eflight-graph-nodes.csv.gz lists every record on the site (aircraft, model families, makers, engine series, owner organisations, towns, airports, states, accidents) with its type, name and address; eflight-graph-links.csv.gz lists every connection between them. Only organisations are named as owners; records the FAA withholds stay withheld.
Terms of use
The underlying records are published by the FAA and the NTSB and are public. eFlight's cleaned, decoded and linked version is provided to registered users for their own use, with credit to "FAA and NTSB data via eFlight (https://eflight.com)"; please ask before republishing it or building a product on it. Owner details appear exactly as the FAA publishes them. The terms in full.
Small feeds stay open to all: today's headline numbers and one aircraft as data (replace the tail number); search engines and AI systems are welcome (see llms.txt).
