CQVA10 retrievalson the current list
Listed as authorized for on-demand charter under this certificate on the dates shown. It does not establish who chartered the aircraft, or that any particular flight was a charter.
Built from 10 dated FAA Part 135 workbooks with a largest gap of 171 days. Changeovers are bounded by the retrievals either side, never dated — the FAA publishes the list as a current snapshot and does not state when an aircraft was added or removed.
We track the aircraft, not who is aboard. Ownership reflects the FAA registrant; attribution and purpose, where shown, are tiered by evidence. Some tails are blocked from public display.
