What it does
PlaneCrashData is an open aviation safety intelligence platform that visualizes over a century of flight incident history (1919–Present) and provides instant safety score lookups for any commercial flight in the world. Aviation incident data has historically been gatekept by antiquated 90s-era government websites or paywalled enterprise APIs. As both an engineer and traveler, I wanted to build a platform that gives passengers and avgeeks instant clarity without sensationalism.

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!
