Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)

Australian Civil Aircraft Register Data Files

The complete Australian Civil Aircraft Register published as a daily comma-delimited data file (acrftreg.csv, approximately 7.6MB) and a zip compressed equivalent (acrftreg.zip, approximately 1MB). CASR 47.030 requires CASA to publish or make available data relating to the civil register; only aircraft currently registered in Australia are included. Records carry VH- registration marks, manufacturer, model, serial number, MTOW, year and country of manufacture, engine and propeller details, ICAO Doc 8643 type designator, type certificate, registration holder and registered operator with address and commencement dates. Coded fields are documented on separate CASA pages. No API key or registration required.
