Open-source reference app

Explore the FAA aircraft registry through a developer API.

Look up an N-number, resolve ICAO24, inspect lifecycle evidence, or review recent observed FAA registry changes. Every data request uses the public Grizzly Bulls Aircraft Intelligence API through this application's server.

One-click examples

See the API working before you write any code.

These links run real requests through this application's server. No API key is sent to your browser, and the results come from the same public Aircraft Intelligence API contract available to developers.

Real N-number

Open a current aircraft record

Jump straight into a live exact-N-number response with aircraft, engine, registration, identifier, freshness, and provenance fields.

ICAO24 resolution

Resolve a current Mode S address

Use the current ICAO24 / Mode S hex associated with the same preset aircraft and resolve it through the dedicated endpoint.

Lifecycle evidence

Check an N-number across FAA states

See registered, reserved, deregistered, or unknown evidence with the explicit not-determined availability boundary.

Check N172SP status →

Observed change feed

Inspect recent registry changes

Load a bounded recent observation window with reviewed event types and privacy-safe field diffs.

Try the integration

A small app built like an API customer.

The repository has no aircraft database or FAA ingestion pipeline. The pages below use the same public API contract and Bearer-key authentication available to any developer.

Lookup

Exact N-number records

Explore a current U.S. aircraft registration by N-number with normalized aircraft, registration, engine, airworthiness, identifier, and source metadata.

ICAO24

Resolve Mode S hex

Resolve one exact six-digit ICAO24 / Mode S address to the matching current U.S. FAA registration.

Resolve ICAO24 →

Lifecycle

N-number status evidence

Resolve an N-number across reviewed registered, reserved, deregistered, and unknown states without claiming that unknown means available.

Check N-number status →

Changes

Recent observed changes

Inspect a bounded registry-wide stream of reviewed observation-time changes with privacy-safe before/after diffs.

View recent changes →

Discover

Bounded registry search

Search the current registry by exact manufacturer, model, or registrant state using the same authenticated API available to developers.

Search registry →

History

Observed registry changes

Inspect retained registration states and PII-free change events while keeping snapshot observation time distinct from legal or source-effective time.

Deliberate boundaries

Useful without overstating the data.
