You're about to sign for a tail you've only seen on paper.
TailCheck is an independent emissions and activity profile for any registered aircraft — utilisation, route patterns and modelled CO₂, pulled from ADS-B and traceable to a cited methodology. One document, before you commit.
The logbook is the seller's story — not the whole story.
Right now, the only history you have on a tail is whatever the current owner chose to hand you. How hard it was actually flown, the routes it really runs, the months it sat idle versus the months it ran hot — you're taking their word for it.
And you're making a buy, list, lend or lease decision on that word.
The gap shows up after you've signed.
An aircraft flown harder than its type median carries wear you priced for a gentler life. By the time a buyer's compliance team asks for an emissions profile you can't produce, the deal has moved — and renegotiation happens on the back foot, if it happens at all.
Diligence only helps before the ink dries.
The window to check a tail independently is open exactly once — before you commit.
Deals in this market move in days, not weeks. After that, anything you learn is a problem to manage, not a decision to make. The next tail crossing your desk is the one to check.
One report, because you shouldn't price risk you can't see.
Pulled from ADS-B flight data and modelled on a cited, ICAO-aligned methodology — every figure traces back to source. Here's what lands on the desk.
Utilisation & activity
Real flight hours and sector counts — not estimates, not owner-reported.
Route patterns
Where it actually flies, how often, and how that trends across the year.
Modelled CO₂
Tank-to-wake emissions on a documented, repeatable methodology.
A citable document
Built to put in front of a buyer, a lender or a credit committee.

You see every leg it has actually flown.
Not a declared base and a brochure range — the real corridors, weighted by frequency and coloured by CO₂ intensity. The same map that ships inside the report.
What it costs to skip the check.
The downside isn't theoretical. It's the cheapest line item in any aircraft transaction — and the only one that protects every other number in it.
A tail flown harder than its type median carries wear you didn't price. On heavy iron, that gap is rarely small.
One report. The independent number that lets you hold — or move — the price before you've committed to it.
One report, one price.
No subscription, no seat licences, no minimum. Run a single tail or run a hundred — every figure traces to the cited methodology, every time. Running these at volume? TailCheck is an add-on on Pro and Desk.
