LAAS Current Corporate Turbo Register
This searchable data file is based on the annual LAAS publication Corporate Turbos of the World and is to be updated around the 25th of each month with that month's changes, which will then also be published in Aviation News & Review. Wherever possible errors and additional information will be amended on a day by day basis.
The Corporate Turbo Register includes:
- All turbo models, both twin and single.
- Plus the most common of the piston twins , the Ce402B/Ce402C/Ce404.
- All “approved change” reservations less than 12 months old.
How to use the Corporate Turbo Register:

Some comments on the registrations
Aircraft on various South American and African registers continue to be problematic and where no further details have become available a number of aircraft are included under the country given as the reason for cancellation from the US register. Similarly there are a number of confirmed sightings of aircraft that have not been tied up and these are included without con no detail. The FAA files themselves are strewn with registrations for aircraft that have long since been sold or scrapped. Whilst every effort has been made to weed out those aircraft no longer in use some will clearly have escaped the net. Likewise, wherever possible, stolen aircraft that remain missing have also been deleted.
Post Sept 11th, internet access to the official AMARC listings was withdrawn so we are relying on offical information as of July 2001 and unofficial information thereafter.
Where an application has been made for an aircraft to change to new marks this is marked as <>. The reservations themselves are indicated but it should be noted that many reservations take months and even years to be taken up and indeed many never do so. Aircraft on display are marked pr.
Credits
In addition to our own files credit must be given for information from a number of sources including Aviation Letter, AMCAR, Corporate Monthly, Air Britain, Dave Richardson for Ce208 info, Bert Berry & Barry Colman for Venezualan Rockwell info and Bruno Orofino for South American data. Invaluable sightings have been provided by the world-wide reports, especially from Paul Suter in California and the e-group reports on the Internet. Great advances have been made in the accessibility of information due to the Internet, with several countries such as Canada, Australia and even Brazil having official register sites and the FAA files now accessible on a daily updated basis.
Any additional information, corrections, comments, etc are welcome as are new sightings throughout the year or photos for future use - please send them to turbo@laasdata.com.

As usual this site comes with the customary post 9/11 warning to exercise caution - FBOs are invariably some of the less flexible areas at airports so please use common sense when viewing/noting things down.
