FAA data
FAA incidents (AIDS)
Records from the FAA Accident & Incident Data System. Date, type, FAR part, aircraft and damage match the NTSB fields, but AIDS carries no findings, so the hazards in the probable cause cannot be determined from this data set.
Scope of historic analysis
The switches start out matching the exposure you selected. Turn any operating part on or off to add or remove its incidents and accidents from the counts.

How accidents and incidents are assigned here
The event type published with these records is not used. Following 49 CFR 830.2, a record is treated as an accident when it reports substantial damage, a destroyed aircraft, or a fatality. Parachute-jumping operations (Part 105) with fatalities but no substantial aircraft damage stay as incidents, because the jumper had left the aircraft. Where the published data cannot separate minor from serious injuries, records from 2020 onward are resolved by the report-number suffix (A or I) that the FAA began using that year. Records that repeat an event already in the NTSB data — same date, aircraft and airport — are marked as duplicates and are left out of the incident rate estimate, along with everything assigned as an accident.
Why some severities are undetermined
AIDS reports a single total injury count and does not distinguish minor from serious injuries. Severity is shown only where every reading of that injury count lands on the same level of your active severity definitions — for example when there are no injuries, or when the aircraft damage alone fixes the level. Where a minor-injury and a serious-injury reading would give different levels, the severity cannot be determined from the published data and is shown as "—".
