Dornier Flugzeugwerke aircraft in the FAA registry
Dornier Flugzeugwerke was a German aircraft manufacturer founded in Friedrichshafen in 1914 by Claude Dornier. Over the course of its long lifespan, the company produced many designs for both the civil and military markets. Today, aviation enthusiasts, buyers, and students can track the presence of these German engineering designs in the United States through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry.
Registered Fleet Overview
As of 2026-10-16, there are 51 registered Dornier Flugzeugwerke aircraft in the FAA registry. The registry lists the manufacturer under the exact name "DORNIER". These 51 valid registrations cover 16 distinct models. The fleet is diverse, consisting of fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft, fixed-wing single-engine planes, and rotorcraft. Engine configurations vary significantly, including reciprocating, turboprop, turboshaft, and turbofan powerplants. Most of these aircraft were built between 1938 and 2002, with half of the total built in 1970 or earlier.
Geographically, the registered Dornier Flugzeugwerke aircraft are spread across the country. Texas and California each hold 11 registrations, while Wyoming accounts for 5. Airworthiness classifications show that 25 aircraft hold a standard class rating, 14 are experimental, and one has multiple classifications.
Top Models and Type Certificates
Certain models dominate the registry. The DORNIER 228-202 is the most common, with 11 aircraft registered. These are high-wing, twin-turboprop utility aircraft with a capacity for 20 seats. The UH-1D follows with 9 registered units. This is a single-engine, twin-rotor military helicopter adapted for civil use, seating 16 people. The 328-300 jet appears 7 times in the registry. Built between 1999 and 2002, this regional airliner seats 34 passengers. Other notable models include the BU 133 (4 aircraft), the DO28 A-1 (3 aircraft), and the DO28 B-1 (3 aircraft).
Each model has its own page with specifications and the type certificate data sheet (TCDS). The TCDS A16EU, held by General Atomics AeroTec Systems GmbH, covers the DORNIER 228-202. The TCDS A55NM, held by Deutsche Aircraft GmbH, covers the 328-300. The TCDS 7A13, also held by General Atomics AeroTec Systems GmbH, applies to the DO28 A-1. Every aircraft has a registration record by N-number, allowing for precise Dornier Flugzeugwerke N-number lookup and detailed history tracking.
