Type a tail number and get its PlaneReports Score in seconds, built from the public record — free, no signup, on every US-registered tail. Want the FAA's full record pulled, reconciled and read by a person? That's the compiled report, and it's $99.
The instant score is free and always will be — registration, ownership chain, NTSB history, applicable ADs and the Score, on every US-registered tail. The compiled report is a separate, paid product: we pull the FAA's full record on the aircraft, reconcile it, and have a person read it before it's published.
The automated public record is free on every tail, forever. Pulling the FAA's complete record on one aircraft and having a person reconcile it is work — that's the part that costs money.
Pulled live from public sources and shown right away — no account, no wait:
Order it on any tail and we pull the FAA's complete record on that aircraft, reconcile it, and read it before it's published — typically within one business day:
Own the aircraft? Own & Protect ($129/yr) is the owner's side — upload your own records, keep them current, and control what the public report shows.
Registration history, owners, and a preliminary lien & title search from the FAA registry.
NTSB accident/incident cross-reference, and whether repairs were documented.
Applicable Airworthiness Directives for the make/model, and what's on file.
Logged entries, shops, hours, and inspections — read from the owner's scanned records.
True cost-per-hour built from the owner's own receipts and flight log.
A transparent 0–100 read of how complete and consistent the records are.
Looking up a tail and its PlaneReports Score is free forever, on every US-registered aircraft. The compiled report — the FAA's complete record on one aircraft, pulled, reconciled and read by a person — is $99. We'll always tell you the price before anything is charged.
