For owners
Your airplane already has a record. Most of it just isn't anywhere you can reach.
Registration sits with the FAA, flight activity is scattered across receivers, accident records live in a separate database, and the logbooks are in a drawer in your hangar. Start with your N-number and see what Stabilator can already put together.
What we can tell you about your airframe
Identity and registration
Make, model, year, serial number and engine as the FAA has them, plus the certificate dates and the registration history behind your current tail number.
How it has actually been flying
Detected flights over the last twelve months, observed hours, the airports it moves between and the stretches where nothing was detected at all.
Every registrant it has carried
Airplanes change hands and change N-numbers. The record follows the airframe by serial number, so earlier registrations stay attached to it rather than disappearing.
Safety records, searched properly
NTSB matches checked against every tail number the airframe has worn, not just the one on it today. No match found is stated as exactly that.
Claim it, and the record becomes yours to keep
Claiming confirms you're the owner or operator and unlocks the parts of the record only you can supply. Anything you add stays with the airframe, so the work of assembling it isn't lost the next time the airplane changes hands or goes in for a pre-buy.
Put the logbooks somewhere they can't burn
Upload what you have and it sits alongside the public record rather than in a single paper copy. Missing logs are one of the few things that reliably takes real money off an airplane at sale.
Hand a buyer one link instead of a folder of scans
When you sell, the same record answers the questions a serious buyer is going to ask anyway, in an order that makes sense.
A usage summary for renewal
Export the last twelve months of observed activity as a single document when your insurer asks how the airplane is actually being flown.
Fix what's wrong
Public data has errors in it. Owners can file a correction with a source, and we keep the original value alongside it rather than quietly overwriting the record.
What this is not
Stabilator is a record-keeping and research tool. Observed flight activity comes from third-party observations and is incomplete by nature, so it should never be treated as tach or Hobbs time, as official maintenance records, or as evidence of airworthiness. An absence of detected flights does not establish that an airplane didn't fly. Your mechanic determines airworthiness, and the logbooks remain the record of record.
