Civil Aircraft Tail Numbers
Deciphering Civil Aircraft Tail Numbers
The is normally done by using the serial number - or werknummer - of the plane. This site presents an 'enhanced' listing which integrates a comprehensive Me 262 losses list. As such, the database contains a great deal of information beyond what would normally be associated with a basic serial number listing.
The best way to identify a civil aircraft is by its registration or “tail” number. So, whenever taking photos of aircraft, always make sure that you’ve included a picture of the aircraft’s registration number or the tail number of aircraft. This is extremely helpful later when you’re trying to identify the aircraft in your photos. The United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, and many other countries all maintain excellent aircraft registration databases on the Internet. By having the registration number of the aircraft, you are just a “click” away from obtaining detailed information about the aircraft. Take a look at the picture of the Goodyear Blimp below. On the lower rudder of the aircraft are the numbers “N10A”. The “N” means that the blimp is registered in the United States. Now let’s find out from the FAA Registry some detailed information about this aircraft:
- Multiple Field Registration Search: Returns Multiple (up to 100) matches using a combined query. (see below for related Aircraft CODES) Aircraft Database (Codes): Returns Multiple Matches (up to 100). Use this lookup when searching for specific aircraft model, lookup the codes, then use the codes as input for the 'Multiple Field' search above.
- Engine Serial Number History Search LYCOMING’S LOYALTY PROGRAM When you buy a genuine Lycoming engine or a new Lycoming powered aircraft, you’re in the Lycoming Loyalty Program.
- Aircraft Serial Number Search USAF (also USAAC, USAAS, USAAF) This form allows you to search for a USAF aircraft by its serial number or description. You may use the tail portion of the serial number, if that is all that you know.

About N-Numbers
An N-number is an aircraft registration number used in the United States. All aircraft registered there have a number starting with N. Due to the large numbers of aircraft registered in the United States an alpha-numeric system is used. N-numbers may only consist of 1 to 5 characters and must start with a number other than zero and can not end in more than two letters. In addition, N-numbers may not contain the letters I or O, due to their close similarity with the numbers 1 and 0. Each alphabetic character in the suffix can have one of 24 discrete values, while each numeric digit can be one of 10, except the first, which can take on only nine values. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the name-space, though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes.
The following are the N-Number combinations that could be used:
- N1 to N9 (Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) internal use only)
- N1A to N9Z
- N1AA to N9ZZ
- N10A to N99 (Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) internal use only)
- N10A to N99Z
- N10AA to N99ZZ
- N100 to N999
- N100A to N999Z
- N100AA to N999ZZ
- N1000 to N9999
- N1000A to N9999Z
- N10000 to N99999
An older (pre-1950s) aircraft may have a second letter in its identifier, identifying the category of aircraft. This additional letter is not actually part of the aircraft identification (e.g. NC12345 is the same registration as N12345). Aircraft category letters have not been included on any registration numbers issued since about 1950, but they still appear on antique aircraft for authenticity purposes. The categories included:
- C = standard
- L = limited
- R = restricted
- X = experimental

International Aircraft Registration Prefixes
An aircraft registration is a unique alphanumeric string that identifies a civilian aircraft. Because airplanes typically display their registration numbers on the aft fuselage just forward of the tail, in earlier times more often on the tail itself, the registration is often referred to as the “tail number”. In the United States, the registration number is also referred to as an “N-number”, as it starts with the letter N.
de Haviland DH-88 “Comet” (G-ACSS)
The de Havilland DH-88 “Comet” shown above displays the registration “G-ACSS”. The “G-” prefix denotes that it is registered in the United Kingdom.
International Standards
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) maintains the standards for aircraft registration. Article 20 of the Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation requires that all signatory countries register aircraft over a certain weight with a national aviation authority. Upon registration, the aircraft receives its unique “registration” which must be displayed prominently on the aircraft.
Annex 7 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation describes the definitions, location, and measurement of nationality and registration marks. The aircraft registration is made up of a prefix selected from the country's call-sign prefix allocated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), making the registration a quick way of determining the country of origin, and the registration suffix. Depending on the country of registration, this suffix is a numeric or alphanumeric code and consists of one to five digits or characters respectively. The ICAO provides a supplement to Annex 7 which provides an updated list of approved Nationality and Common Marks used by various countries.
Boeing 777-200 (4X-ECC)
When painted on the fuselage, the prefix and suffix are separated by a dash … for example 4X-ECC, however when entered in a flight plan, the dash is omitted (for example 4XECC). In the United States, the prefix and suffix are painted without a dash. Private aircraft usually use their registration as their radio call-sign, but most commercial aircraft use the ICAO airline designator or a company call-sign. In some instances, it may be sufficient to simply display the suffix letters, with the country prefix omitted. For example, gliders registered in Australia would omit the VH prefix and simply display the suffix. Obviously this is only suitable where the aircraft does not fly in the airspace of another country. Even if the suffix consists solely of alphabetical characters in a certain country, gliders and ultralights may sometimes use digits instead. For example, in Germany, D-ABCD can be an aircraft while D-1234 is a glider. In Australia, early glider registration suffixes began with the letter &ldwquo;G”, and it is not uncommon to find such gliders only displaying the last two letters of the suffix, as they lacked the range to travel internationally. For example, VH-GIQ would simply be displayed as IQ.
Different countries have different registration schemes: Canadian registrations start with C, British with G, German with D, and so forth. A comprehensive list is tabulated below.
United States of America
An “N-number” is an aircraft registration number used in the United States. All aircraft registered there have a number starting with N. Due to the large numbers of aircraft registered in the United States an alpha-numeric system is used. N-numbers may only consist of 1 to 5 characters and must start with a number other than zero and can not end in more than two letters. In addition, N-numbers may not contain the letters I or O, due to their close similarity with the numbers 1 and 0. Each alphabetic character in the suffix can have one of 24 discrete values, while each numeric digit can be one of 10, except the first, which can take on only nine values. This yields a total of 915,399 possible registration numbers in the name-space, though certain combinations are reserved either for government use or for other special purposes.

Complete List of Aircraft Construction Numbers with API for the Aviation Industry
There is no better way to find information from some aircraft history than to use the complete list of aircraft construction numbers with API. A construction number is assigned to each aircraft once and, as opposed to the registration number, it cannot be changed. For example, if some aircraft is sold and it changes its owner, the registration number may be changed for lots of reasons. However, construction number stays the same. It is given by manufacturers and its entire history may be traced through it.
Sometimes, construction numbers of aircraft are called manufacturer’s serial numbers. They are often assigned in sequence. The whole number may be a combination of both letters and numbers. They are very useful when it comes to quality control. Every detail related to the certain aircraft can be found out if you use world aircraft C/N number database. C/N stands for construction number, of course.
Our database of aircraft construction numbers API for developers is accurate and reliable!
Since registration number of an aircraft can change over some time, even several times in some cases, you can miss important data if you use registration number for identification. Therefore, the best and the most accurate way to identify everything you need is to use the database of aircraft construction numbers API. Again, make sure you choose the most comprehensive database of new and updated information. If you combine your software with our complete aircraft construction numbers database for developers, you will be able to extract useful information which is regularly checked.
A great match!
In order to help you make your clients satisfied, we have made it possible for you to combine our APIs in order to get the best out of them. Matching aircraft construction numbers API to the international registration numbers of aircraft API may help you extract all that you exactly need for different purpose. Even more useful results may be acquired if you combine it with the name of airlines API. You should also check our full list of API codes and explore other possibilities that our service has to offer.
