Function createIcaoRegistry

Creates an ICAO registry instance that resolves 24-bit ICAO hex addresses to aircraft registration records.

For zero-config use with bundled FAA data, pair with @squawk/icao-registry-data:

import { usBundledRegistry } from '@squawk/icao-registry-data';
import { createIcaoRegistry } from '@squawk/icao-registry';

const registry = createIcaoRegistry({ data: usBundledRegistry });
Copy

For fresh FAA data, use parseFaaRegistryZip to parse a downloaded ZIP:

import { createIcaoRegistry, parseFaaRegistryZip } from '@squawk/icao-registry';

const zipBuffer = await fetch('https://registry.faa.gov/database/ReleasableAircraft.zip')
  .then(r => r.arrayBuffer());
const data = parseFaaRegistryZip(Buffer.from(zipBuffer));
const registry = createIcaoRegistry({ data });
Copy
