Most aircraft accidents are caused by a chain of events rather than just one error. Study how and why they happen and you'll be a safer pilot. Flight Chain App's convenient, easy access to accident reports helps you become a better pilot.
The vast majority of accidents are preventable. By reading accident reports, you'll learn what not to do. And you'll be a safer pilot because of it.
We were surprised by a flight instructor's observation who, after more than 40 years of flying, was amazed at how many pilots of various experience levels aren't aware of the value of NTSB reports.
We also kept hearing a common theme among pilots: the NTSB website isn't the friendliest to use. Changing pages and navigating through the site can be a hassle, especially on mobile.

Reading accident reports can tell you how accidents happen and teach you what not to do. That's one reason we created Flight Chain App. But we kept wondering -- how can we reach more pilots with safety information, have more impact when we reach them, and help improve decision-making skills?
