I didnt know avherald but what a great resource. Also, a bit scary that it seems to be daily accidents/incidents...

  Fortunately most are minor problems. The C rated one is still kinda rare, especially on passengers flights.

    C means casualties or crash or something else?

      crash

      C marks an accident, that is potentially catastrophic (has the potential to kill everybody on board of an airplane) - a Crash. They actually answer that in their FAQ[0], third question. Was also trying to figure out what R meant. [0]: https://avherald.com/h?faq=&opt=0 https://avherald.com/h?faq=&opt=0

      Yes, C - Crash, A - Accident, I - Incident, N - News, R - Report (ie a regulator released an interim or final report on some accident), see the FAQ for delineation. I find it sort of comforting - there are minor incidents (rejected take-off, go-around, engine problems, fumes, cabin pressure, gear problem, ...) every single day, but almost all are resolved without loss of life. And, in all my flying, I've never even experienced one of those minor things (except an air return on the way to Yap). So, things are really pretty safe.

  AvHerald is one of my preferred sources of information regarding airline accidents. Additionally, several trusted aviation youtubers use it as a source of news related to accidents. Simon Hradecky, the site owner, very much sticks to the facts.

  In case you don’t know it, https://www.pprune.org/ https://www.pprune.org/ (Professional Pilots Rumour Network) is another go-to site for Aviation news and incidents - it’s heavier weight than the “rumour” part of the name suggests.
