Every U.S. aircraft registration is a public federal record. WingLeads pulls the FAA file every night, keeps only the aircraft registered to businesses — LLCs, corporations, partnerships and non-citizen corporations — and sends you those companies as a spreadsheet. Buy the catch-up file to get current. Subscribe to stay current.
These are postal leads. The FAA file contains no phone numbers and no email addresses at all, so what you get is the company name and its mailing address. If you sell by mail, this works. If you need a phone list, this is not one — and we would rather say so here than take your money and hear about it later.
A company that just registered an aircraft has an annual, an upgrade and a parts list ahead of it.
A newly registered hull needs a policy, and the registration date tells you when.
Refits follow acquisitions. The registration date is the starting gun.
New corporate owners need hangar space, title work and someone to run the aircraft.
No filtering options, and nothing held back. Everything in scope is always included — you filter in your own spreadsheet.
Volume varies enormously by state. Pick yours and the real count appears on the two one-state cards below — records and separate companies, because those two numbers are a long way apart.
Every figure on this page is measured from the federal file of September 15, 2026 and rebuilt from it every night. They move daily, in both directions. The delivered file is always the authoritative count.
That is the path, and it is why there are two prices rather than one.
The one-time file is a catch-up. It holds everything registered in the last 30 days for your scope, and it is emailed to you once your order comes in — not on a schedule, not on the first of the month. It gets you level with the registry. You pay once, the file is yours, and nothing recurs.
The subscription keeps you level. Every Monday you get the records that are new since your last file — same state or same national scope, same everything-included rule. It is a catch-up on what changed, not a fresh copy of what you already have, and you should not expect it to be one.
You can subscribe on its own. If you do, your first file is the 30-day catch-up — everything registered in the last 30 days — and from the following Monday you get only what is new since it. Subscribing is not the smaller purchase; it is the catch-up plus everything after it.
Cancel from the Stripe billing portal — enter your email and Stripe sends you a link to your billing page — or reply to any email from us and a person will do it. Cancelling stops future charges and future files. Everything already delivered stays yours, and taking the first file and cancelling is a legitimate way to use this.
One company can register a whole fleet, so a raw record count is not a count of businesses you can sell to. We publish both numbers, everywhere, because the gap is large and it is not in our favour.
The last 30 days nationally hold 1,783 business-owned registration records — but only 1,232 separate companies. Across twelve months it is 22,143 records from 12,163 companies.
As of this file the single largest registrant in the country is Zipline International Inc, which filed 76 of those 1,783 records — 4% of the national file, from one company. It is also 76 of CA's 192 records for the month, which is why that state shows only 61 companies. We do not remove it and we do not hide it. It is the reason the company column exists.
The typical state runs about 21 records from 18 companies in a 30-day window, and 12 of the 53 states and territories are under 10 companies. 3 of them (DC, RI, VI) had nothing at all in the last 30 days, and the picker will tell you not to buy them. Check yours in the picker above, or in the table further down, before you buy anything.
Every file ships in two versions at no extra cost: one row per aircraft, and one row per company per mailing address. The second one is what you mail from.
It is a list of businesses that registered an aircraft with the FAA. That is the entire selection criterion. It does not mean they bought one this month, that they are profitable, or that they want to hear from you. A registration can follow a purchase, a lease, a transfer between two entities the same person owns, or a trustee arrangement.
There are no phone numbers and no email addresses. Not withheld, not an upsell — the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database does not contain them at all. What you get is the registrant's company name, the mailing address the FAA has on file, and the aircraft details the FAA publishes. That is the product.
Individually-owned aircraft are excluded on purpose. Under 49 U.S.C. § 44114(b) an individual owner may ask the FAA to withhold their name and address from the public file. That protection does not reach a company. We sell only entity registrants — LLC, corporation, partnership and non-citizen corporation — which is what keeps this product clear of that line. It also means some of what you receive is partnerships rather than incorporated companies.
One operator can hold hundreds of registrations. That is normal in this data, not an edge case, and it is why every count on this page is published as a pair.
Some addresses are registered agents, not operators. In DE, MT, UT, WY especially, a great many aircraft are domiciled at a filing agent's address. Mail sent there reaches a filing cabinet. Those states are flagged in the table rather than quietly dropped.
We do not guarantee a minimum number of records. If the FAA published six new business registrations in your state, your file has six rows, and that is a correct delivery. The counts here are measurements of one day's federal file, not a promise about yours.
Four things sit between the raw federal registry and a list you can put in the post. All four are ours.
1. The diff. The raw file is a snapshot of roughly 300,000 aircraft with no “what changed” column in it. We pull it every night and compare it against the night before, which is what makes “registered in the last 30 days” a thing we can hand you — and what lets a subscription send only the records that are new since your last file instead of the whole file again.
2. The business-only filter. FAA registrant types 7, 3, 2 and 8 — LLC, corporation, partnership, non-citizen corporation. Everything else is dropped, including the individual owners you should not be mailing off this file.
3. The type-2 name check. This is the one that is genuinely easy to get wrong. Registrant type 2 is “Partnership”, so it reads like a business code — but measured against the live file, 76% of type-2 rows are bare personal names at residential addresses. Two people who fly together really do register that way; the code is honest, it just is not evidence of a company. So a type-2 row has to look like a company as well before it ships. Types 7, 3 and 8 are left alone, because there the person-shaped rate is 0.2%, 2.6% and 0.4% and a name test would only throw away real businesses.
4. De-duplication by company and mailing address. Every delivery includes a second file collapsed to one row per registrant per mailing address, so a fleet operator with hundreds of registrations costs you one envelope instead of hundreds.
Blank rows go too: records the FAA published with no registrant name or no street are not mailable and are dropped before delivery, which is why a delivered count runs slightly under the raw match count.
Read the companies columns, not the records columns. These are the real counts from the federal file of September 15, 2026, and the 30-day columns are what a $99 one-time file for that state contains.

“Fleet-heavy” means fewer than half the 12-month records are distinct companies. “Registered-agent addresses” means many registrants domicile there — the address on the record is a filing agent, not an operator.
Every field comes straight from the FAA Releasable Aircraft Database, a public federal record. Nothing is appended, verified or bought in from any other source. Individually owned aircraft are excluded on purpose. Government records contain errors and reflect what the registrant reported — verify before you rely on them. Not affiliated with the FAA.
