FlightFinder: Aviation Safety

The safety record behind your next flight: the operator's history, the aircraft's own record, and a turbulence outlook. Drawn from 250,000+ official reports.

FlightFinder turns official aviation-safety records into something you can read before you fly.

Look up a flight and see which aircraft type operates it, how old that fleet is, and what the investigation record says about that airframe. Everything traces back to an official report rather than an opinion.

WHAT IS INSIDE

• Flight check: aircraft type, fleet age and safety history for a specific flight
• Accidents near you: investigated occurrences around your current location
• Safety feed: recent events worldwide, each linking back to its official report
• Aircraft browser: search by type, family or operator
• Wildlife strikes, laser strikes, runway incursions and drone sightings from FAA and other public datasets
• On-time performance and fleet age by airline
• Spotter logbook: keep a record of the aircraft you have seen

WHERE THE DATA COMES FROM Records are compiled from public sources including the FAA, the NTSB, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, the BEA in France and other national investigation authorities. Every entry links to its source so you can check it yourself.

WHAT THIS APP DOES NOT DO It does not predict crashes and it does not rank airlines by danger. Reporting practices differ between countries, operators and decades, so counts reflect what was reported rather than everything that happened. Where that distinction changes how a number should be read, we say so on the page.

Location is used only to find occurrences near you, and only when you ask for it.
