How this service works
FAA aircraft registry API for agents, paid per call with x402 (USDC on Base). MCP server: https://aircraft.report/mcp
Output
Returns a JSON array of aircraft records, each containing a nested 'aircraft' object with registration fields (manufacturer, model, year, serial, N-number, Mode S hex, owner name, city, state, status, cert issue date, expiration date, registrant type) and an 'identity' object with decoded details (aircraft type, engine type, seat count, weight class, age in years, airworthiness flags, and a plain-English summary sentence).
Example use cases
Identify aircraft from ADS-B transponder
“I'm tracking a plane on my ADS-B receiver with ICAO hex code A1B2C3 — can you pull its FAA registration details so I know what type of aircraft it is and who owns it?”
Verify fleet ownership for aviation audit
“I need to find all aircraft registered to owner name 'CIRRUS' in the FAA registry — can you pull the first 50 results so I can audit their fleet registrations and expiration dates?”
Check aircraft registration before charter
“Before I book a charter flight, can you check the FAA registry for aircraft with serial number 5334 to confirm it has a valid registration and standard airworthiness certification?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://aircraft.report/v1/aircraft?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative FAA aircraft registration data including owner identity, airworthiness status, and decoded aircraft specifications — especially when triggered by a Mode S/ICAO transponder hex code from ADS-B or radar data. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable registry output with identity flags and certification details. Ideal for aviation apps, ADS-B enrichment pipelines, charter verification, and compliance checks. The x402 micropayment model at $0.02 per call makes it cost-effective for per-lookup agent workflows.
Side effects
- No results returned if hex/serial/owner does not match any FAA record
- Invalid hex format may return empty results or error
- Owner name prefix must match exactly as stored in FAA registry; partial mismatches return no data
- Limit parameter exceeding 1000 is capped or rejected
- Payment failure via x402/USDC on Base will block the request
- FAA registry data may lag real-world registration changes by days or weeks
