Frequently Asked Questions
The D085 is the official FAA database of all aircraft specifically authorized to conduct on-demand charter flights under Part 135 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. Every aircraft on this list has been inspected, approved, and placed on an operator's Part 135 Operations Specifications.
According to the current FAA D085 listing, there are 11,322 aircraft authorized for Part 135 charter operations across 55 U.S. states and territories.
It means the FAA has specifically approved that aircraft to carry passengers or cargo for hire on an on-demand basis. The aircraft, its maintenance program, and its flight crew must meet the FAA's safety standards for commercial air taxi service.
We match every tail number to its FAA Mode S address and check it against ADS-B flight data (via adsb.lol) through Sep 28, 2026. Of these 11,322 aircraft, 10,501 flew in the last 12 months and 749 were tracked the whole period without a single flight. Aircraft we began tracking recently stay listed until they have 12 months of tracking.
Contact The Jet Finder with your mission details — origin, destination, dates, and passenger count. We'll match you with available charter-authorized aircraft and operators that fit your requirements.
No. Many privately owned aircraft are registered with the FAA but are not authorized for charter. Only aircraft listed on an operator's Part 135 OpSpecs (and therefore on the D085) can legally conduct charter flights for hire.
The Jet Finder refreshes its fleet data monthly from the FAA D085 and Aircraft Registry to ensure accuracy. Individual aircraft status may change between updates as operators add or remove aircraft from their certificates.
The 11,322 charter aircraft span 9 categories: Rotorcraft (2,755), Turboprop (2,165), Piston (1,578), Midsize Jet (1,490), Heavy Jet (1,359), Super Midsize (884), Ultra Long Range (572), Light Jet (419), Very Light Jet (100).
The top states by charter fleet size are: AK (1,032), FL (771), TX (765), UT (718), CA (644).
