Every source used in FlightFinder, with its official website and licence.
FlightFinder is an independent app and website made by HiMaxym. It is not a government entity and does not represent one. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorised by the NTSB, the FAA, NASA, or any other government entity or agency, and it does not provide or facilitate any government service.
FlightFinder republishes aircraft accident and incident records that investigators have already published, and links each entry back to the report it came from. Every source used is listed below with its official website and the licence the data is used under. Records may lag the official source; the original report always takes precedence.
Method notes and refresh cadence are documented in the methodology and on the about page.
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.
No. FlightFinder is an aviation safety data platform: it compiles accident, incident and hazard records and organizes them by aircraft type, airline and airport. It does not follow a flight’s status or arrival time, and it does not sell tickets. “Check my flight” finds the aircraft type and airline behind a flight number and shows their safety record — not a live position or a fare.
