About this collection

Mechanical reliability reports filed by operators and repair stations, organised by the failures and systems they describe. This terrain holds 67,651 reports filed between 1 Jan 2025 and 31 Dec 2025, each kept whole, from the Federal Aviation Administration.

Reading the terrain

  • Peaks are subjects. A tall peak holds many reports about one thing.
  • Continents gather related peaks. Regions and streets divide them more finely in CAINC.
  • Contours show how densely reports crowd together. Height is not importance, risk or truth.
  • Distance is difference in meaning, not geography. Neighbouring peaks describe similar things.
