How We Calculate

These diagnostic indicators are compiled by Track Plane Crash analysts using historical incident data, manufacturer specifications, NTSB/FAA investigation materials, and fleet class coefficients.

They serve as qualitative safety benchmarks for aircraft classes and families, and do not represent insurance actuarial loss ratings for individual tail numbers.
