Search the official FAA Releasable Airmen Certification Database and get clean, structured records for US-certificated pilots and airmen: certificates, ratings, medical class and dates, and mailing address (where released).
The FAA publishes this data as a bulky monthly zip of raw CSV files. This actor downloads the latest release, joins the basic and certificate files, and gives you filtered, analysis-ready JSON/CSV/Excel output in minutes — no manual downloads, no Access databases, no cleanup.
Who uses this data
- Aviation insurers — verify certificate level, ratings, and medical currency.
- Flight schools & CFIs — find pilots by state and certificate level for outreach (e.g., every Private Pilot in your state is a prospective instrument student).
- Part 135 / charter operators — pre-screen and audit pilot credentials.
- Aircraft lenders & brokers — confirm buyer credentials; target ATP/Commercial holders.
- Recruiters — source certificated mechanics (include non-pilot airmen).

Data source, freshness & legality
Data comes directly from the FAA's public Releasable Airmen Certification Database, updated monthly by the FAA. It contains only records the FAA is legally permitted to release: certificate numbers are excluded, and addresses appear only for airmen who have not opted out under the Privacy Act. This actor redistributes public government data as-is and adds structure and filtering.
