FAA: The Federal Aviation Administration is involved in every aspect of aviation we can think of. It stands to reason that their website might offer information of value to us. The FAA publishes not shortage of rules, regulations, certification requirements, etc. All of this information has always been available to all of us. The hassle is been in actually getting the information. That problem is a matter of the past once you discover the FAA Regulation and Certification Group section of the FAA website.

Would you like to keep up with the latest FAA news? Visit the FAA Office of Public Affairs.

The Civil Aviation Registry website offers helpful information for builders that will be registering their aircraft. You can even download the entire Aviation Registry database. It is in the form of a series of database files you can download. The files are very large (approximately 22 megabytes), and once you download them, you will really have to load them into some form of database system. One website has gone to the trouble of downloading the databases for you and have given you a web interface to that data. You can access this data on the Landings.com website.
NTSB: The NTSB investigates all aviation accidents and publishes reports on those investigations. The NTSB makes those reports available on their website. You can access the reports by a monthly listing, or you can do a criteria based search.
