Aviation safety data platform: accidents, incident reports and safety profiles for every aircraft, airline and airport.
FlightFinder started as a way to search flights by aircraft type. The safety section grew out of the same instinct: the public record exists, but it is scattered across more than a hundred official authorities and written for investigators. We aggregate it, explain it, and never dress an estimate up as a fact.
We publish counts from the public record — occurrences, fatal accidents, hull losses and their dates — and never a score or a grade for an airline or an aircraft type.
Our sources attribute only part of what they hold to a specific operator, and that gap is not evenly spread between carriers, so any formula over these counts would rank how well documented an airline or a type is as much as how safely it flies. A low count can mean a good record or a thin one. The counts are not adjusted for fleet size or hours flown, and none of them predicts a future flight. How each figure is built is on methodology.
| Source | Covers | Refresh |
|---|---|---|
| Aviation Safety Network + B3A (via Wikidata) | Worldwide accidents and hull losses | Weekly |
| NTSB CAROL | U.S. official investigations | Daily |
| Turbulence model (GFS winds → Ellrod index) | En-route turbulence forecast | Every 6 hours |
| FAA and the other national authorities listed in Attributions | Hazard registers, airworthiness directives, regional records | Varies by authority |
No. Every occurrence, every recommendation, and the methodology are open to everyone. FlightFinder Pro pays for volume, history and export — never for access to the record.
A new occurrence appears in the feed once the authority publishes it. We do not speculate about probable cause while an investigation is open, and any plain-language summary is generated from the structured record and reviewed before it is marked indexable — see our Editorial Standards for the full process.
Rarely. Turbulence injuries happen overwhelmingly to people who are not belted in. It is discomfort, not typically danger — we publish the forecast so you can plan when to stay seated, not to alarm anyone.
FlightFinder is independently built, published, and edited by Denys Kolomiiets. FlightFinder is not owned by an airline, booking agency, or accident-investigation authority.
Our acquisition, validation, refresh, and correction practices are documented in the methodology and Editorial Standards. FlightFinder is built on open-source software and public datasets used under their respective licenses (ODbL for adsb.lol, CC0/CC-BY-SA for Wikidata, public domain for NTSB) — see Attributions.

Loading safety records…
Type an aircraft model, airline, airport or tail number into the search box — FlightFinder opens its safety profile with accident history, incident reports and hazard data from public sources.
Accident records come from 130 sources — investigation boards such as the NTSB, AAIB, BEA and MAK, plus compilers such as the Aviation Safety Network and Wikidata — normalized into one database with a citable DOI. NASA ASRS incident reports, FAA wildlife-strike, laser-strike and runway-incursion data, and FAA and EASA airworthiness directives are separate datasets on the site. The methodology and full source list are published.
