Known limitations

All airport and incident latitude/longitude fields are missing in this snapshot. It is not ready for coordinate-based mapping.
Species score = mean damage-severity tier × ln(1 + report count) per species; tiers use the 33rd, 66th and 90th percentiles. These are descriptive scores, not validated estimates of future strike risk.
Reporting and field completeness vary over time. A maximum incident date does not establish source completeness.
