What this server can do

5 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.

faa_get_aircraft_type(code)
Decode a 7-character FAA manufacturer/model/series code to aircraft specifications from the reference table — manufacturer, model, aircraft category, aircraft type, engine type, number of engines, number of seats, weight class, cruise speed, and type-certificate data sheet/holder. Use faa_search_aircraft_types first to discover a code by manufacturer or model name. Required: code.
faa_get_registration_status(nNumber)
Resolve registration and airworthiness status for a US civil aircraft N-number across all three status files — active (MASTER), deregistered (DEREG), and reserved (RESERVED) — in priority order, returning a definitive recordType. Use this (rather than faa_lookup_registration) when a number may be inactive: it returns "deregistered" or "reserved" for a known-but-inactive number instead of a not-found. A number that was never issued returns recordType "unknown" — a valid, informative answer, not an error. Accepts "N12345" or "12345". Required: nNumber.
faa_lookup_registration(nNumber)
Decode one US civil aircraft N-number to its full registration record — aircraft make/model, engine, year manufactured, airworthiness, registration status, Mode S (ICAO 24-bit) code, and registered owner (when owner-PII redaction is off). One call resolves the relational join and decodes every coded field. Accepts "N12345" or "12345" (the leading N is optional). Returns ownerRedacted: true when owner details were withheld. A number that is known but inactive (deregistered or reserved) is not found here — use faa_get_registration_status for the cross-file status answer. Required: nNumber.
faa_search_aircraft_types(limit, query, offset, category, aircraftType)
Search the FAA aircraft reference table by manufacturer/model name (full-text), aircraft type code, or category code to discover 7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Use this before faa_get_aircraft_type to find a code by name. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
faa_search_registrations(limit, state, offset, makeModel, modeSCode, ownerName, aircraftType)
Search active US civil aircraft registrations by owner name, make/model, state, aircraft type, or Mode S (hex) code. Full-text search over the local registry index; returns decoded summaries with N-numbers to drill into via faa_lookup_registration. At least one filter is required. Owner-name search is unavailable when this deployment redacts owner PII — search by make/model, state, aircraft type, or Mode S code instead. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.

Signals

These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.

Where to get it

Related, by what their authors tagged them

These share tags the maintainers applied themselves, such as aviation, bun, cyanheads, registry. Common tags like "mcp" or "ai" are ignored for this: agreeing with six hundred other projects is not a similarity.

This is not a recommendation and not a test result. It is a map of what the authors said their work is about.
