Swearingen aircraft in the FAA registry
As of October 16, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registry lists 88 Swearingen aircraft. The registry manufacturer name is recorded exactly as "SWEARINGEN". All 88 registered aircraft are fixed-wing, multi-engine turboprops. Of these, 75 hold standard airworthiness classification, two have special flight permits, and one is classified as experimental.
The fleet spans production years from 1968 to 2001. Half of the registered aircraft were built in 1980 or earlier. The data covers eight distinct models. The most numerous model is the SA-226T, with 21 aircraft registered. These were built between 1973 and 1979 and seat eight passengers. The SA226-T(B) follows with 16 registrations, built from 1979 to 1981 with an 11-seat capacity. The SA227-AT accounts for 12 registrations, while the SA227-TT has 11. The SA-26AT has 9 registrations, and the SA226TC has 8.
Geographic distribution shows Texas with the highest number of registrations at 15, followed by Oregon with 14, and Florida with 12. Type certificate data sheets (TCDS) provide the technical basis for these airframes. TCDS A5SW, held by Ontic Engineering and Manufacturing Inc., covers the SA-226T, SA226-T(B), SA227-AT, SA227-TT, and SA-26AT.
Each registered aircraft has a unique N-number record. The registry data reflects the current status of these airframes as maintained by the FAA. Buyers, spotters, and aviation students can use the N-number lookup to verify specific details. The Swearingen models remain a distinct segment of the US-registered turboprop fleet.
