What is Aviation Accidents Database ?
Aviation Accidents Database is the key point to download official reports and investigations of incidents and accidents.

Many times it’s not easy to find the official reports online: either because the State Agency investigating the occurrence have no website, or the report is not published or it’s an old report not made in digital format.

We continuously search for reports, classify them, write the excerpt and make them available to all pilots and aviation enthusiasts worldwide: for the sake of aviation safety.

Since official Safety Reports are not always written in English language (this is permitted by ICAO), we also provide sometimes unofficial translations: you may like to read more here.

As simple as that.
