Ask FlightFinder answers questions about aviation accidents, incidents, and official safety recommendations — in plain language, drawn only from our own merged safety records: NTSB, ASRS, EASA, and 70+ other official investigation sources.
Answers come only from our safety records, with sources you can check yourself. If our records don't cover a question, we say so honestly instead of guessing. This is not safety advice.
How it works
- Retrieval — your question is matched against the accident, incident, and safety-recommendation records in our database.
- Grounded answer — if there's enough relevant data, we generate a plain-language answer that sticks to what the records actually say. If retrieval comes back weak, we tell you we don't have the data instead of inventing an answer.
- Citations — every answer links back to the specific records it's drawn from, numbered inline, so you can verify it yourself.
