# Returns FAA aircraft registrations — the releasable registry of ~314K currently US-registered aircraft, one record per N-number: the aircraft (manufacturer, model, seats, engines, weight class, year built, engine type), and the REGISTRANT — name, type (Individual / Corporation / LLC / Government / Co-Owned, the FAA's own legend, with the verbatim code), address, and up to five co-owner names

## Request

- URL: `https://api.keyvex.com/v1/aircraft-registry`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns FAA aircraft registrations — the releasable registry of ~314K currently US-registered aircraft, one record per N-number: the aircraft (manufacturer, model, seats, engines, weight class, year built, engine type), and the REGISTRANT — name, type (Individual / Corporation / LLC / Government / Co-Owned, the FAA's own legend, with the verbatim code), address, and up to five co-owner names. Use this when the user asks: who owns an aircraft (by N-number), what aircraft a company / person / nonprofit registers, corporate-jet fleets, aircraft registered in a state, or to join tail numbers seen in flight-tracking data to owners.  Lookups: n_number is a direct hit ('N123AB' or '123AB'). registrant_name matches the primary registrant AND co-owner names. Note: many corporate jets register through trustee banks (e.g. 'BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE') or aircraft-management LLCs — an absent company name is NOT proof the company has no aircraft.  Registry posture: a CURRENT-roster snapshot refreshed monthly from the FAA's daily-updated file. snapshot_date is the last snapshot a record appeared in — stale means since deregistered. Deregistered- aircraft history (the FAA DEREG file) is a planned follow-up.  Pure-publisher posture: FAA records as published, parsed by KeyVex; type labels are the FAA's own documentation legends, never our inference.
