Exploring aircraft accidents in Brazil

Occurrencies with aircraft in Brazil are investigated by the Center for Investigation and Prevention of Aircraft Accidents (Centro de Investigação e Prevenção de Acidentes Aeronáuticos – Cenipa). Which is then released as open data and updated on a yearly basis.

This repository contains Jupyter Notebooks for exploring that data.

Sample output

Here are some sample charts produced by the notebooks.

How to use

To use the Jupyter Notebooks you need either Jupyter Notebook or Jupyter Lab, with the Jupytext extension installed.

For ease of use, you might want to use my Docker-based docker-jupyter-extensible, which comes with everything needed already configured.

Why Jupytext

Why am I using Jupytext instead of .ipynb files? Because those are very large json files that do not fit well with the line by line version control offered by Git. And I want to track changes to the notebooks. With Jupytext, I can keep the notebooks under version control and the .ipynb files are automatically generated every time the .py files are changed and vice versa.
