Aircraft Registration Expirations: free sample (Tensorust LLC)

14,378 company-owned US aircraft whose FAA registration expires in the next 12 months; 304 within 90 days.

Headline: An aircraft whose FAA registration (valid 7 years) lapses cannot legally fly, and the owner can lose the N-number, yet the FAA sends no public list of who is coming due.

This repository is a free teaser, not the dataset. It holds 25 example rows and a summary table with no names in it. The full file has 14,378 rows and is sold by Tensorust LLC: https://tensorust.com/datasets/aircraft-registration-expiry/.
