Aircraft Registry (FAA)

The FAA's registry of every currently US-registered aircraft — 314,000+ records, one per N-number: the aircraft (manufacturer, model, seats, engines, year built), and the registrant with the FAA's own type classification (Individual, Corporation, LLC, Government, Co-Owned) plus up to five co-owner names. The corporate-jet ownership dataset — join tail numbers or company names to who actually owns the aircraft. Note that many corporate jets register through trustee banks or management LLCs.
