Unofficial FAA Reference
FAA UPN Tracker puts the FAA's Unapproved Parts Notification database in your pocket — searchable, scannable, and deep enough to catch part numbers buried inside the official notice documents.
Built for A&P Mechanics, Inspectors, DERs, Repair Stations, and Parts Vendors who need to verify parts fast and document their due diligence.
The FAA publishes Unapproved Parts Notifications when parts enter the supply chain without proper approval. FAA UPN Tracker collects them all, reads the full text of every notice, and lets you check a single part or your entire inventory against them in seconds.
Search every FAA Unapproved Parts Notification from 1996 to today, by part number or subject. Refreshed daily from the official FAA source, so the list is always current.
Goes beyond the summary line — it reads the full text inside each official notice, including PDF, Word, and web-published notices, catching specific part numbers listed deep within the documents.
Searches inside the notice, not just the titlePoint your camera at a serial plate, parts tag, or shipping manifest. On-device text recognition reads it and cross-references the UPN database instantly. Images never leave your device.
