Parts intelligence / Engine type by operator
Engine type by operator, confirmed at the source.
Which engine does an airline fly on its A320neo? It can be the PW1100G-JM or the CFM LEAP-1A. A 757 can carry the PW2000 or the RB211-535. The registration alone does not tell you which.
Most databases fill the gap with a guess. For an engine shop, a parts trader or a repair specialist, a guessed engine is a wasted call: the wrong operator on the prospect list, or a quote for an engine that is not on the wing. Datawings only counts the engine a registry record or a named source has stated. Everything else is held, in grey.
01 / The rule
Confirmed, or held. Nothing in between.
Each engine assertion is made for one operator and one aircraft type, and it gets one of two states. Every confirmed row links to its source. No language model is used, in the pipeline or at query time.
| Confirmed | A registry record or a named source on file states the engine for that operator and type, or the type can only carry one engine. |
|---|---|
| Unconfirmed | The type can carry more than one engine and nothing on file says which. Listed apart, never counted, never filled in. |
Two real tails, the same two that run in the check on the home page
- SE-ROL · Confirmed
Scandinavian Airlines, A320neo, on the Swedish register. The type can carry the PW1100G-JM or the CFM LEAP-1A. A source on file names the LEAP-1A for this operator and type, so it is counted.
SE-ROL · Scandinavian Airlines · A320neo · CFM LEAP-1A · confirmed
- N539US · Held
Delta Air Lines, 757, on the US register. The type can carry the PW2000 or the RB211-535. No registry field and no named source says which, so both options are listed, neither is claimed, and it is never counted.

03 / In the product
Every confirmed operator of an engine family, on one screen.
Pick an engine family. You see its confirmed operators, the active tails at those operators, and how many airworthiness directives named the family in the last year. Operators that fly a type which could carry the engine, with no source naming it, sit in a separate list: possible, not confirmed.
- Fleet check
On the home page, type an airline or MRO name. You get counts only: confirmed engine families, how many are held, active tails, and signals in the last 90 days.
Scandinavian Airlines · CFM LEAP-1A, RR Trent 700, RR Trent XWB, V2500 confirmed · 0 held · 54 active tails · 2 signals in 90 days
- Operators by engine family
Confirmed operators per family, ranked by active tails, with the possible operators listed apart.

04 / Questions
Before you ask.
- Why is an operator held unconfirmed?
Its aircraft type can carry more than one engine, and nothing on file says which one it flies. Both options are listed and neither is claimed. It stays out of every count until a registry record or a named source settles it.
- Which engine families are covered?
The families on today's airliners and regional aircraft, including the CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B, CFM LEAP-1A, PW1100G-JM, V2500, CF34 and the Trent family. An operator only counts towards a family once it is confirmed.
- Where does the engine information come from?
From registry records and from named sources on file for an operator and type. Every confirmed row links to its source. No language model is used, in the pipeline or at query time.
- Can I export the operators of one engine family?
Yes. Pick the engine family in the product and export its operators to CSV, ready for your own CRM. The export holds confirmed operators only, and every row names the engine family and its status. Held operators stay out of the file, listed apart in the product.
- What does it cost?
€500 per named seat, per month, with every signal, register and export included. Three companies get 90 days free, in exchange for honest feedback.
