A feed of newly issued FAA aircraft registration certificates: every aircraft that was just registered for the first time or changed owners, with the new owner's name and mailing address, aircraft make/model/year, and key dates.
Existing FAA registry tools are lookup utilities — give a tail number, get a record. This actor answers the question the sales side actually asks: "who bought an aircraft this week?"
- Aircraft brokers — every ownership change is a future listing; every new owner a future seller or upgrader.
- Aviation insurers & agents — new owners need hull and liability coverage now.
- FBOs, flight schools, MROs, avionics shops — new local owners need hangars, training, maintenance, upgrades.
- Lenders — track collateral and refinance prospects.
How it works
The FAA refreshes the Releasable Aircraft Registration Database nightly. The MASTER file's certificate issue date is set when the FAA issues a Certificate of Aircraft Registration (AC Form 8050-3) — on first registration and on re-registration to a new owner. Registration renewals and address changes do not reset it, so "certificate issued in the last N days" is precisely new registrations plus ownership changes (~100–220 per day nationwide).
Delivered aircraft are remembered (keyed on N-number + certificate issue date) in a named key-value store, so a scheduled run delivers each certificate once — an alert feed, not a snapshot dump. Make, model, seat count and weight class are joined from the FAA's aircraft reference file.

Data source & legality
Data comes directly from the FAA's public Releasable Aircraft Registration Database, refreshed daily at 11:30 pm Central. It contains only records the FAA is legally permitted to release. This actor redistributes public government data as-is and adds the change-detection, joining and filtering.
