NReg Database Derived From FAA Records
An Australian company has developed an app that will bring the
FAA's aircraft registration database to your iPhone. Wavefront
Technology released the app ... called NReg ... on Monday. The app
displays N aircraft registration information, sourced from a
hierarchical database derived from information published on a
weekly basis by the FAA. The FAA data is published as a flat file
spreadsheet. Wavefront's software organizes this information into a
structured database, which is accessible over the net from the NReg
client app running on the iPhone.
Wavefront claims that the structured database implementation is
far more powerful than a flat file. NReg allows users to navigate
up, down and across the hierarchy. For example having found a
specific aircraft, the user can then find details of the owner, and
then details of ALL aircraft that the owner owns. Or the app allows
a search for information about the engine in a specific aircraft,
and then finds all aircraft which have that same engine.
For each database record which can be viewed in NReg on the
iPhone, a single tap connects to Google which displays everything
the Internet has to know about that item. For example, you can find
details of an aircraft or its owner from the NReg database, and can
then forward that information to Google which returns a general
Internet search result.
NReg is supported by a web site which provides product
information, customer support, and a full user manual.
