Aircraft & the fleet

The fleet is each aircraft on Tailstrike. You can look at the full list, sort it and select from it, in the Aircraft Registry.

How to find an aircraft

• Select by tailnumber, aircraft type, category (commercial or general aviation), airline, current airport and region.
• Use Match my preferences. This fills the selection with the aircraft types, the airlines and the regions that you saved in your settings.
• Each card in the registry shows the photo of the aircraft, the name and the logo of its airline, and the time since its arrival at its current airport. Therefore you can see if an aircraft flew a short time ago.

Aircraft status

• AVAILABLE: the aircraft is parked, and you can lease it.
• LEASED: another pilot controls the aircraft. You cannot lease it until their lease ends.

The aircraft page

• The manufacturer, the model, the type, and the airline or the private owner.
• Its current position, the exact parking position where the last pilot left it, and its home airport.
• The conditions at its position, with an estimate of the cockpit temperature, and the condition of the aircraft: still warm, flown today, cold and dark, or parked for a long term.
• Its total flights, hours and distance, for each pilot.
• Its last flight: the pilot, the landing rate, and the fuel that remains for you to use.
• A full flight history of each leg that the aircraft flew.
• The names of the people behind it: the owner or the patron who holds it, and the pilot who endowed it into the network.
• A Lived in mark, when the aircraft keeps cockpit state from its last flight: the radio frequencies, the transponder code, the altimeter setting and more.
