faa_lookup_registrationread-only

Decode 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 (der

faa_get_aircraft_typeread-only

Decode 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_search_registrationsread-only

Search 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

faa_search_aircraft_typesread-only

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

faa_get_registration_statusread-only

Resolve 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".
