FlightFinder

Aviation accident and incident records live in about 124 national investigation archives — NTSB, AAIB, BEA, CENIPA, ATSB, MAK, TSB and the rest — each with its own search form, its own file formats and its own idea of what counts as an occurrence. None of them talk to each other.

FlightFinder consolidates them into one searchable corpus and hangs it off what a person actually types: a flight number, an aircraft type, an airline, an airport, a route.

What is in it today: 282,991 occurrences from 128 official sources spanning 1902 to the present, 164,019 accident narratives, 240,558 NASA ASRS incident reports, 7,219 FAA and EASA airworthiness directives, 5,988 NTSB safety recommendations and a 445,528-row aircraft registry. Alongside those sit 11.4 million pilot reports of turbulence and icing, wildlife-strike counts, laser and drone events, runway incursions, on-time performance and fleet age.

Two rules the product holds itself to. Every safety score prints the arithmetic that produced it instead of a star rating, and every record links back to the investigating authority's own report — because "trust me" is exactly what the existing sites offer.

Free to use. A Pro tier adds saved watches, alerts and a data API. Native iOS and Android apps ship the same data. An open dataset of 223,623 records is published on Hugging Face under CC BY 4.0.

FlightFinder puts the safety record behind a flight where you can actually read it. Type a flight number, aircraft type, airline or airport and get its accident and incident history: 282,991 occurrences drawn from 128 official investigation authorities, going back to 1902.
