Aircraft Defects: a searchable desk for airline maintenance reports
A public search and analysis tool for exploring 170,201 airline mechanic reports by aircraft, airline, system, part, defect, and repair.
Why it surfaced
Aircraft Defects turns maintenance notes into investigative patterns: the same system failing across several aircraft, a sudden cluster, or a part appearing at multiple airlines. Its grey bands preserve the mechanic's own words, while filters, charts, CSV export, and aircraft dossiers make an unusually specialized dataset legible.
