FlightSafe uses publicly available and reputable aviation data to generate flight safety scores. We prioritize transparency and accuracy, while acknowledging the inherent limitations of historical and public datasets.

🏛️ Primary Sources

We aggregate data from a wide range of respected government and aviation bodies, including:

• FAA – Federal Aviation Administration (U.S.)

  For incident reports, safety directives, and aircraft certification data.

• NTSB – National Transportation Safety Board (U.S.)

  For accident investigations, findings, and public summaries.

• ICAO – International Civil Aviation Organization

  For international safety trends, safety audit results, and compliance data.

• BEA, AAIB, and other national agencies

  For country-specific incident and accident reporting.

🧾 Supplemental Sources

We also use supplemental datasets and public archives, such as:

• Turbulence Forecast Data – Public weather and turbulence pattern data for historical trends.

🧠 Internal Enrichment & Modeling

Where raw data is unavailable or incomplete, we use internal algorithms to:

• Normalize reports across regions and agencies
• Generate aircraft, airline, and airport-level incident averages
• Estimate turbulence and maintenance risk based on route and equipment

These processes are designed to create consistent and comparable scoring inputs across global flights.
