In plain words

FlightFinder is an aviation safety data hub that lets users search for accident and incident history for any flight number, aircraft type, airline, or airport. It aggregates 282,990 occurrences from 128 official sources dating back to 1902, including data from agencies like the NTSB and ATSB. The platform provides wildlife strike records, airworthiness directives, safety profiles, and turbulence outlooks, with transparent safety scoring formulas. It is designed for passengers and aviation professionals seeking detailed safety information rather than flight booking.

From the sources

Aviation safety data hub: accidents, incident reports, wildlife strikes, airworthiness directives and safety profiles for aircraft, airlines and airports.

FlightFinder is a safety data hub, not a booking site: look up any aircraft type, airline, or airport and see its accident and incident history, wildlife-strike and airport context, the route turbulence outlook, and the arithmetic behind the safety score — aggregated from official investigative authorities into one searchable database. Type score is the aircraft half of our safety score — the formula is on one page and never hidden behind a rating.

The accident was caused by deteriorated wing fabric and improper PVC repairs leading to loss offrom himaxym.com

    I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights2025 · jameshard.ing · ▲1,539

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!
