FAA registry exception analysis
The aircraft living outside the valid FAA register
A complete, searchable extract of non-valid FAA master-file records, grouped by the agency’s status codes.
Important: A non-valid status is not evidence of fraud, abandonment or a physical aircraft’s condition. It may reflect routine paperwork, deregistration, export, sale or another administrative event.
Story finder
Search the complete data
Search by N-number, status, manufacturer, model, registered owner, city or state.
No records match that search.
Methodology
How the list was made
- Selected every FAA master-file record whose trimmed status code is not V.
- Decoded source status codes into readable labels and broader reporting groups.
- Shows public registered-owner names and locations but excludes street addresses.
Editorial use
What still needs checking
Treat “zombie” as the project’s editorial label, not an FAA designation. Use the precise status label when reporting an individual record.
