Summary

This document is an email chain between the FBI (Child Exploitation/Human Trafficking division) and the FAA's Law Enforcement Assistance Program (LEAP) regarding an investigation into Ghislaine Maxwell. The FBI requested flight and registration information for several aircraft associated with Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, specifically noting helicopters she piloted (nicknamed 'Air Ghislaine 1' and '2') and jets she flew on as a passenger. The FAA agent provided attached flight plans (Excel files, not visible in text) and detailed registration histories for aircraft N722JE and N331JE, along with ownership details involving Hyperion Air LLC.

I am sending some of the Flight Plan information that you requested. This information pertains to the helicopters that we discussed, including N491GM (for which we are still uncertain on the exact dates of ownership.) I hope that there is some useful information in here. Hopefully, you have someone who is good with Excel. That’s the best way to be able to analyze or quickly find the information you might be looking for.
I have included a few notes here to help you understand the information, but if you have questions, you can give me a call.
The first thing you are probably going to wonder about are the dates which are part of the Dept Time, Dest Time columns, but also system tracking dates (more easily understandable) all the way to the right. You’ll eventually notice that the earliest information on this batch of information is from 2007. It was around that time that we started keeping these records.
The Airport Codes are the ICAO codes. The easiest way to figure out the departure and destination is to either google the airport identifier or use the list at this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICAO_airport_code
All airports in the continental US begin with the ICAO code K. So if you see a three letter code, it is likely in the US, and would be prefaced with “K” in the ICAO code. For example, BOS (Boston Logan International Airport is KBOS). JFK is KJFK.
All times (DEPT TIME, DEST TIME, ETA) are in Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) which we use in aviation. The format in these columns is: CDDTTTT. “C” is an internal code, “DD” is the day, and “TTTT” is the time, UTC, in 24-hour format.
DEPT DOM and DEST DOM reflect whether the Departure or Destination locations are Domestic. This should provide some context for the airport codes, but I left that in, since international flights should have (are required to file) eAPIS information, and these columns might make it easier for you to find those flights.
The FIX column isn’t likely to be very helpful, but it refers to navigational fixes. It could provide additional clues to understanding where the flight went, but your best bet is to focus on the Dept and Dest. FIX has some very specific scenarios where it may be useful, but generally speaking it isn’t worth a lot of time and energy, since the dept./dest. and times and dates are more relevant. The same is true with the ROUTE column.
The MSG TYPE corresponds to the following Codes:
ARR - Arrival
AM Amendment
CHG Change
CNL Cancel
DEP Departure
DFP Defense Flight Plan (DVFR)
DM Departure
FP Flight Plan
FPL Flight Plan
LCM Lockheed Message (normally that a callsign received a verbal briefing)
UZ Border crossing
Hopefully you will all be able to find some decent leads or solidify some of your timelines of interest based on the information provided.

[REDACTED]
Please call when you get this information.
I have attached Registration information for N331JE and N722JE. N722JE is the entire aircraft registration file. N331JE is just the section that appeared to contain all relevant information to your case. I can give you the entire file if you think there is more that might be applicable, and certified copies of the entire files can be obtained if they need to be used in court. In my experience, sending the entire aircraft registration file from the start usually is daunting for the investigators, and leads to tons of questions just trying to figure out what might be relevant. Sometimes aircraft files are 300 pages or more, and that can be frustrating when maybe only 20 were relevant to the SUBJECT.
I have also attached the LLC Documents for Hyperion Air LLC which is the registered owner for both N331JE and N722JE.
I have attached the Airman File for the SUBJECT, which is encrypted due to PII. I will send the password in a follow-on e-mail. I looked at the medical file, but I believe the information contained therein has limited value to your investigation. I have created a separate encrypted document with only the information that may be helpful, so that you can evaluate potentially relevant information while maintaining medical privacy. If the information in the airman file or the document I created turns out to be critical evidence for your case, then certified copies of the airman and/or medical file can be obtained at a later date.
As I mentioned previously, I want to clarify some details regarding the helicopters. What I found appeared to be slightly different from what was included in the original e-mail to me below.

I have not yet been able to identify the serial number for N491GM which should lead to the registration documents. If you know who the aircraft was sold to, or what registration number it currently uses, I would be able to obtain those documents.
Finally, does this surname have any relevance to your case (potential pilot of one of the aircraft)? VAN HEURCK

Subject: Aircraft info
Hi [REDACTED]
It was nice talking with you yesterday. Thanks for your assistance with this. Please see the below email of aircraft information.
Below are the aircrafts we believe Maxwell has/had been using. The helicopter we know that she personally piloted, while the jets we know her to be a passenger. You’ll notice some of the aircrafts will be associated with Jeffrey Epstein, as she traveled with him frequently. Any information you are able to provide would be helpful. If there is additional passenger manifests for each of these aircrafts we’d like to know that as well. I know we discussed that sometimes that’s not available. As you can imagine, this case is high profile, so I appreciate any discretion you can make on your part.
Please let me know if I left something out that would be able to assist you in any way.
Thanks again,
