BASED AIRCRAFT UPDATE

2025 is a reporting year for based aircraft and the FAA. The FAA has requested that you update your based aircraft counts to reflect current conditions at your airport. It is crucial to update this count as it is used by the FAA in determining your eligibility for federal funding.

The FAA will send a notification letter to NPIAS airports to update the based aircraft counts during the first week of October.

All based aircraft counts must be updated by Dec. 1. However, please try to review your lists by Sept. 30. This early review allows based aircraft personnel to have the time to assist with any problems in updating the database. After Oct. 1, their workload and response time increases.

You can update your based aircraft at basedaircraft.com.

Be sure to click all 'confirm aircraft data' buttons before exiting the screen. The website has a large green button on the airport detail page labeled 'Click Here to Confirm Aircraft Data.' (‘Confirmed’, ‘Confirmed Counts’ and ‘Confirmed aircraft data’ are all interchangeable terms on these buttons.)

If you do not confirm and save your aircraft data, your aircraft totals will not be updated to the Airport Master Record and will not be used in FAA airport planning. 

If you have duplicate aircraft on your list that are not validated due to being reported at another facility, please contact that airport to ask them to help you determine where the aircraft is based the majority of the year. Aircraft can only be counted at one facility.

If you have deregistered aircraft being stored at your airport, check with the owners to determine the current status.

2026-2027 AIRPORT DIRECTORY UPDATE

It is now time to work on updating the information for the 2026-27 Missouri Airport Directory. We will be sending an email to the airport email address listed on the last publication page for your airport. We will also send a copy of the 2024-25 version and ask you to review it. Please reply to the email if any changes need to be made.

Please also email the MoDOT Aviation Section a newer aerial photo of your airport, if you have one.
