One call to Pete Buttigieg should be sufficient to resolve our little "problem."

Does anyone have a way to broker an intro?

By the way, FAA began obscuring plane crash data on May 1, 2022.

Last record ID in on the data file download page https://av-info.faa.gov/dd_sublevel.asp?Folder=%5CAID contains the old date 20220501002239II137 (where the date is 20220501) from this link http://av-info.faa.gov/data/AID/fix/a2020_25.txt (2020 thru 2025) which is presented today as if up to 2023-01-22 but has really only been the 4,710 accidents and incidences from 2020-01-01 up to 2022-05-01 since then.

Why the lack of explanation? Info still exists at NTSB, why not say so? A competent agency with a stellar record to show and nothing to hide would make everything clear at the top of that page, no?

And why does the "Commercial Air Carrier Fatalities" link https://www.faa.gov/about/plans_reports/Performance/quarter_scorecard at https://www.faa.gov/data_research/accident_incident go [apparently] to the last publicly disclosed performance report instead, all the way back in 2016, instead of what the text claims to point to, a current (or any) actual fatalities report?

Their answer could be, no, all you have to do is go this page obviously at

https://www.asias.faa.gov/apex/f?p=100:93:::NO:::

and click each and every link separately, then piece them together, day by day.

Currently shows 9 fatalities in the last 10 days. Why doesn’t it make more clear for example that on 2023-01-17 there were also 19 aircraft-related injuries besides the 2 fatalities on that single day? (from the NTSB mdb file https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/data/Pages/Data_Stats.aspx)
