N-number lookup
Type a US aircraft registration. Voydar shows the airframe from the FAA register and links to its page.
US registrations from the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database. A natural person is never shown as an owner.
No current registration found for N1 in the FAA register Voydar holds. It may be reserved, deregistered or newer than the last update.
How an N-number is built
- Every US civil aircraft registration starts with N, the nationality mark assigned to the United States.
- After the N come one to five characters: one to five digits, or one to four digits and one letter, or one to three digits and two letters.
- The first character after the N is never zero, and the letters I and O are never used, so they cannot be confused with 1 and 0.
- A registration can be reserved before it is assigned, and a number can be reissued to a different aircraft after it is cancelled. The serial number, not the N-number, stays with the airframe.
What Voydar shows and does not show
Aircraft facts are public facts: registration, type, serial number, year, airworthiness class and accident record. A natural person who owns an aircraft is never shown, searchable or sold by Voydar, for any register. Owners can ask for an aircraft to be hidden from Voydar's tracking.
Questions
- Can I find out who owns an aircraft?
- Voydar shows a registrant only when the register names an organisation, never a natural person. The FAA publishes its own registry inquiry.
- Why is a number not found?
- The number may be reserved but not assigned, deregistered or exported, or assigned after Voydar's last copy of the register. Voydar also has no page for a malformed number.
- Does it work for aircraft outside the US?
- No. This lookup covers N-numbers, from the FAA register.
This page works out dates from what you type. It is not legal advice and it does not say whether an aircraft is airworthy or whether you may fly. The owner or operator is primarily responsible for keeping an aircraft in an airworthy condition (14 CFR 91.403(a)); your mechanic and the current text of the regulations decide.
Keep these dates in one place
Voydar Hangar tracks the same dates for your aircraft on one timeline, puts them in your calendar, and counts hours-based items from your tach readings. It is in a staff test and not open yet.
