FAA — Federal Aviation Administration

Parent: U.S. Department of Transportation. Domains in this note: faa.gov.

What they regulate

U.S. civil aviation safety, aircraft registration, airmen certification, and commercial space transportation (AST). FAA registration is not the same as an aircraft sales/brokerage business license or insurance producer license.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. FAA home — Civil aviation safety and airspace regulation.
  2. Aircraft registration — N-number / aircraft registration inquiry — not an aircraft-sales broker license.

Questions this page answers

Does an N-number on a listing prove the seller is an FAA-licensed broker?

No. Aircraft registration identifies the aircraft. Broker/dealer business licensing and escrow practices are separate — verify parties independently.

Is FAA the same as FMCSA?

No. FAA is aviation; FMCSA is motor carriers and property brokers under DOT.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
