What this is
NAirRegistry consolidates the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database, NTSB CAROL accident records, FAA Airworthiness Directives, and Type Certificate Data Sheets into one fast profile per U.S. N-number. Free for individual lookups; reservation, monitoring, and pre-purchase report tiers are on the way.
- What is an N-number?
- An N-number is the FAA-issued aircraft registration tail for U.S. civil aircraft. It begins with the letter N followed by 1 to 5 alphanumeric characters and identifies a single aircraft over its lifetime.
- Where does this data come from?
- Records are built from the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database (refreshed weekly), the NTSB CAROL accident database, the FAA Airworthiness Directive library, and FAA Type Certificate Data Sheets. Each profile shows the snapshot date.
- Is the data live?
- Registration, ownership, ADs, and TCDS data refresh on the cadence the FAA publishes. NAirRegistry shows the snapshot date on every profile so you know how fresh the answer is.
- Why is the owner name redacted?
- Individual-owner names are redacted by default to discourage automated scraping; entity owners (LLC, dealer, airline, flight school, government) are shown without redaction. A reveal control on the profile page unlocks individual records for legitimate use.
