The clean database, free, every day
The same database that powers this site: the FAA's seven files joined into one SQLite file, every code translated into words, maker names cleaned up, and each aircraft sorted into sustainable, drone or conventional. Rebuilt every morning. Free to use with attribution to the FAA Civil Aviation Registry via eFlight Registry.
