Each significant fact on file in an aircraft's life: an incident, an accident, a period of storage, a return to service or its scrapping.
What it is
In each aircraft record, event records are the documented facts that shape its career beyond changes of operator. Some are routine, such as a period in storage or a return to service; others are safety occurrences, such as an incident or an accident.
Every event is written to the same pattern: what happened, when, where, to which aircraft and, where known, with what consequences, and it ends by citing its source, usually an official authority or the airline itself.
Event records also feed the aircraft's timeline and the News section, which gathers the most recent occurrences.
On Vuelopedia
Event records on file appear in an aircraft's record, and recent occurrences are gathered in the News section.
