  • Ownership-change events accumulate with each monthly snapshot — the longer the subscription, the deeper the event history

Compliance & provenance

Collected only from publicly accessible pages and endpoints — no login-required data, no CAPTCHA solving, no forged authentication. Collection is rate-limited with an identified User-Agent, and collection logs are retained. PII is removed or pseudonymized. Every record carries its source URL and collection timestamp. Sold under a tiered commercial license.

FAQ

Is this the official FAA data?

Yes — packages are built from the official FAA Releasable Aircraft and Releasable Airmen databases (public U.S. government data), normalized into analysis-ready tables with reference-data joins and a derived ownership-change event stream.

Does it include airmen addresses?

The FAA releasable files only include addresses for airmen who have consented to publication; we ship the data as released, without augmentation.
