Statistics relating to UK-registered aircraft

Every year, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) publishes statistics derived from the UK aircraft register. Aircraft are broken down by Certification category, aircraft class, weight group and by what kind of Certificate of Airworthiness (CofA) they hold. References to EASA category and aircraft class and the associated lists below are for historical purposes prior to the UK exit from the EU and EASA system.
