FAA service reports

Search the records.

Browse 2,938 make/model entries using names as recorded in FAA submissions, across 1,765,793 report submissions in 32 annual FAA files. Open any entry to see its yearly counts and official source links.

FAA service difficulty submissions use make and model names as recorded from 1995–2026; the 2026 snapshot is incomplete.

Counts include duplicate and supplemental submissions; they are not failure rates.

These source observations describe a model label, not an individual aircraft’s history.

About these records · 8,154 submissions have no recorded make or model

Names follow FAA records. Differences in spelling, capitalization or punctuation remain separate. This is not a list of FAA-approved or certified models.

FAA Service Difficulty Reports

Component records by model

Browse component codes, recorded years and source references from FAA Service Difficulty Reports, 1995–2024.

Groups follow the manufacturer and model labels and component codes recorded in these reports. The displayed counts are candidate group and source-reference counts, not failure rates or a history for any one aircraft. Labels or codes that cannot be resolved remain unknown.

    Search its FAA registration separately for aircraft details and any records linked to that registration. A matching model name alone does not assign these reports to the aircraft.
