FAA Registry
Registration attributes as filed.
Not title or physical condition.Aircraft buyer research
Know what to verify before you buy.
Search an FAA registration to resolve the airframe, review the covered public record, and turn evidence gaps into questions for records, title work, and inspection.
One search. Three useful answers.
The result separates what is identified, what the covered sources report, and what a buyer still needs to verify.
- 01
Is this the same airframe?
Resolve the registration to manufacturer, model, serial evidence, and the physical aircraft before attaching history.
- 02
What does the covered record show?
Review dated events, service difficulty reporting, and AD applicability with source and coverage attached.
- 03
What is still unverified?
Carry explicit gaps into logbook review, title work, installed-configuration checks, and inspection.
Aerovidence supports diligence. It does not replace the records, inspections, or professional work required for a purchase.
A buyer's route
From a registration to questions worth asking.
Use public evidence at the right moment—without asking it to prove more than it can.
- 01Research models
Before you shortlist
Research recurring model reporting and regulatory burden so you know where to look closer.
- 02See the method
While you review records
Cross-check the seller's documents against identity-linked, time-scoped public records.
- 03Compare aircraft
Before you commit
Turn missing evidence and candidate differences into inspection, logbook, and title questions.
Model + airframe
Start with the model. Finish with this airframe.
- Model context
- See recurring reports in a declared cohort and time window—not a failure or reliability rate.
- Tail-level record
- Attach only identity-supported, time-scoped public records to the aircraft you searched.
- Buyer questions
- Keep unresolved configuration and missing documents visible as work still to be done.
Compare finalists
Compare aircraft without hiding what is not known.
Every candidate uses the same release, coverage window, and evidence rules. Missing data never becomes the cleaner result.
Start a comparison- 01
Same basis
Release, cohort, window, and algorithm versions stay aligned.
- 02
Unknown stays unknown
Missing records and incomplete configuration remain visible.
- 03
Differences stay traceable
Material findings retain their source, date coverage, and limitations.
Traceability by design
Every material finding keeps its source, date, and limit.
Primary public sources
Know where each record comes from.
Coverage and limitations stay visible beside the result. A source no-match is never presented as proof that nothing occurred.
NTSB
Investigated accidents and selected incidents.
No-match applies only to covered data.FAA SDR

Not a reliability or failure rate.FAA AD

Resolve the airframe first. Then review the evidence that can be attached with support.
