About
This dataset provides valuable insights into voluntary incident reports submitted by pilots, air traffic controllers, and other aviation professionals, alongside reports from aircraft owners, operators, and maintenance personnel. It details equipment failures, the types of problems encountered with aircraft, and the corrective actions taken. The data highlights observed conditions and precautions, serving as a critical resource for enhancing aviation safety and understanding operational challenges.
Columns
- 98013: A unique identifier for each individual incident report.
- FUSELAGE CRACKED: Denotes a specific type of part failure, often presented with its percentage occurrence (e.g., 2% of incidents involve this issue).
- ZONE 100 CORRODED: Describes the precise location of a defective or malfunctioning part and its observed condition, also indicating its frequency.
- Part Failure: Specifies the component or system that failed or malfunctioned during the incident.
- Location of the defective or malfunctioning part and its condition: Provides detailed information on where the failure occurred and the state of the part.
- Occurence Nature condition: Outlines the nature of the occurrence or the conditions observed, such as a "WARNING INDICATION" (occurring in 7% of reports) or "OTHER" (11%).
- Occurence Precautionary Procedures: Describes the procedures in place or considered for the occurrence, frequently noted as "NONE" (79%) or "OTHER" (6%).
- Precautions Taken: Details the specific actions or measures implemented in response to the reported incident.
- Conditions Observed: Further elaborates on the environmental or operational conditions witnessed during the incident.
- Incident Report: A general classification indicating the nature of the submitted record.
- OTHER: This category is used broadly across different fields (e.g., Part Failure, Occurence Nature condition, Occurence Precautionary Procedures) to capture incidents or conditions not fitting specific classifications, often accounting for a significant majority (e.g., 96% for Part Failure).
Distribution
The dataset is typically available in a CSV format. While the exact number of rows or records is not specified, the data includes unique identifiers for incidents and statistical breakdowns of various failure types and conditions.
Usage
This dataset is an excellent resource for data science and analytics, particularly for:
- Aviation safety analysis: Investigating patterns in incidents and identifying high-risk areas.
- Predictive maintenance: Developing models to forecast equipment failures based on reported incidents.
- Risk management: Assessing and mitigating operational risks within the aviation sector.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Extracting structured information from textual incident descriptions.
- Classification and segmentation: Grouping incidents by type, cause, or affected aircraft parts.
Coverage
The data encompasses voluntary incident reports from a global region. While the listing date for this dataset is 21/06/2025, the nature of incident reporting implies a continuous and evolving stream of information rather than a fixed historical period.
