Description
This is the classic tail number search program, but with a twist. This app works in the air, making it the perfect tool for pilots while aviating or at remote airports. The entire FAA registration database (highly compressed) is included in the app - no cell signal or WiFi hotspot needed. And of course, the database can be updated when back on the ground.
What's New
Adds support for iOS 13 and Dark Mode, perfect for night flying. And comes with a fresh database update!

Needs database from FAA website update.
Seems like they haven’t updated the data in a couple of years.
Database is no longer updated. Was a great little app, but it is no longer useful. Please consider updating. I would pay for it.
Way out of date
Nice and useful but database is over a year old
I echo MCguiver2’s experience except I have owned my airplane now for 17 months and it’s still not updated on their website it. The FAA has had it correct for nine months.
This app jumped the shark . Worked great for over a decade , then for some reason our searches are no longer downloadable which means it’s worthless at this point . Seems developer made his money and then dropped the ball . No updates for over 2 years but removed the only function that made this app stand out above the rest .
It would be nice if you did have the Spirt of St. Louis in the database for at least fun and historic moments.
App as it is, is very useful. I use the app to learn the ‘type’ of airplane nearby when the N number is displayed on my ADSB IN Traffic display. Some aircraft are displayed on traffic display with a call sign other than their N number. Garmin Pilot users can see hexadecimal Mode S Code of traffic. It would be nice if N number app would include hexadecimal Mode S Code display and search. This would allow N number app users to learn the aircraft type on call sign displayed traffic.
Wasted $1 on this. Immediately deleted. Database is out of date.
