Best Answer

It stands for United States of America.

Every country in the world has its own one or two letter prefix for tail numbers on aircraft registered in that country. The prefix for the USA is N. I don't know why N. I don't know who (if anyone) is in charge of assigning the codes.

I think the N is because it's for North America, and the southern american countries all have their own letters. I suppose, initially, the various civil air administrators of all countries would have decided together what they would display on their aircraft. FAA in America, CAA in UK etc.

F= France

G= UK

C-F & C-G= Canada

D= Germany

You could probably google the full list.
