FAA Preliminary Accident and Incident Data (Unofficial)

The Federal Aviation Administration publishes Preliminary Accident and Incident Reports online but only previous 10 days of reports are visible. After that they are removed from the website and cannot be viewed until the Aviation Accident and Incident Database is updated which can take a year or two. Sometimes it is useful to be able to lookup the FAA preliminary report for an incident while it is not visible on the FAA's website. This repository contains the FAA's accident/incident data going back to August 10, 2021. This repository will be updated regularly and data will be retained indefinitely.

Note that the data contained here is mostly only useful for aviation incidents. The National Transportation Safety Board investigates all aviation accidents. If you are interested in an accident, the NTSB produces a much more detailed preliminary report within a few weeks following the accident and a final report within a year or two. NTSB reports can be obtained using the CAROL Query tool and the NTSB database is available here.
