    before

    Search FAA aircraft types by manufacturer/model name, aircraft type code, or category code to discover 7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Use this before faa_get_aircraft_type to find a code by name. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.

    Search FAA aircraft types by manufacturer/model name, aircraft type code, or category code to discover 6–7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Pass a code to faa_get_aircraft_type for specs or faa_search_registrations as manufacturerModelCode for exact registration matches, then faa_lookup_registration for details. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.

  • faa_search_registrationschangeddescription, input schema, output schema

    Search active US civil aircraft registrations by owner name, make/model, state, aircraft type, or Mode S (hex) code. Returns decoded summaries with N-numbers to drill into via faa_lookup_registration. At least one filter is required. Owner-name search is unavailable when this deployment redacts owner PII — search by make/model, state, aircraft type, or Mode S code instead. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.

    Decode a 7-character FAA manufacturer/model/series code to aircraft specifications — manufacturer, model, aircraft category, aircraft type, engine type, number of engines, number of seats, weight class, cruise speed, and type-certificate data sheet/holder. Use faa_search_aircraft_types first to discover a code by manufacturer or model name.

Tools (5)

faa_get_aircraft_typeread-onlyDecode a 6–7-character FAA manufacturer/model/series code to aircraft specifications — manufacturer, model, aircraft category, aircraft type, engine type, number of engines, number of seats, weight class, cruise speed, and type-certificate data sheet/holder. Use faa_search_aircraft_types first to discover a code by manufacturer or model name.
faa_get_registration_statusread-onlyResolve whether a US civil aircraft N-number is active, deregistered, reserved, or unknown, including the available registration and airworthiness status. Use this rather than faa_lookup_registration when a number may be inactive. A number that was never issued returns recordType "unknown" — a valid, informative answer, not an error. Accepts "N12345" or "12345".
faa_lookup_registrationread-onlyDecode one US civil aircraft N-number to its full registration record — aircraft make/model, engine, year manufactured, airworthiness, registration status, Mode S (ICAO 24-bit) code, and registered owner (when owner-PII redaction is off). Accepts "N12345" or "12345" (the leading N is optional). Returns ownerRedacted: true when owner details were withheld. A number that is known but inactive (deregistered or reserved) is not found here — use faa_get_registration_status for its current state.
faa_search_aircraft_typesread-onlySearch FAA aircraft types by manufacturer/model name, aircraft type code, or category code to discover 6–7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Pass a code to faa_get_aircraft_type for specs or faa_search_registrations as manufacturerModelCode for exact registration matches, then faa_lookup_registration for details. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
faa_search_registrationsread-onlySearch active US civil aircraft registrations by owner name, make/model, exact manufacturerModelCode, state, aircraft type, or Mode S (hex) code. Discover codes with faa_search_aircraft_types, search registrations by manufacturerModelCode, then drill into N-numbers via faa_lookup_registration. Filters are AND-combined; at least one is required. Owner-name search is unavailable when this deployment redacts owner PII — use the other filters instead. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
