	### Dataset Summary
	This dataset collects 47,723 aviation incident reports published in the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) database maintained by NASA.

	### Supported Tasks and Leaderboards
	- 'summarization': Dataset can be used to train a model for abstractive and extractive summarization. The model performance is measured by how high the output summary's [ROUGE](https://huggingface.co/metrics/rouge) score for a given narrative account of an aviation incident is when compared to the synopsis as written by a NASA expert. Models and scores to follow.

	### Languages
	The BCP-47 code for English as generally spoken in the United States is en-US and the BCP-47 code for English as generally spoken in the United Kingdom is en-GB. It is unknown if other varieties of English are represented in the data.

	## Dataset Structure


	### Data Instances
	For each instance, there is a string for the narrative account (Report 1_Narrative), a string for the synopsis (Report 1.2_Synopsis), and a string for the document id (acn_num_ACN). Some instances may have two narratives (Report 1_Narrative & Report 2_Narrative) and extended analyses produced by experts (Report 1.1_Callback & Report 2.1_Callback). Other fields contain metadata such as time, location, flight conditions, aircraft model name, etc. associated with the incident. See the [ASRS Incident Reports dataset viewer](https://huggingface.co/datasets/elihoole/asrs-aviation-reports/viewer/elihoole--asrs-aviation-reports/train) to explore more examples.

	{'acn_num_ACN': '1206196',
	'Report 1_Narrative': 'While taxiing company B757 aircraft from gate to Hangar line; we were cleared by Ground Control to proceed via A-T-join runway XX. After receiving subsequent clearance to T1 [then associated taxiways] to the hangar; we caught up to a dark; apparently unpowered company livery RJ (ERJ-145) near the T1 intersection. The RJ was being towed dark with absolutely no external lighting on; a completely dark aircraft. This situation only presented itself as we drew close to the aircraft in tow. The towbarless tractor (supertug) was lit externally; but minimally visible from our vantage point; with a completely dark aircraft between us and the tractor. Once the towing operation completed a turn onto taxiway T; a single green light came in view which is somehow mounted on supertug; presented a similar appearance to a green wing navigation light common on all aircraft. To say this presented a confusing situation is an understatement. [Aircraft] operation in Noncompliance with FARs; Policy and Procedures. This is a situation never before observed in [my] 30 plus years as a taxi mechanic at our location. There are long established standards in place regarding external light usage and requirements; both in gate areas; as well as movement in active controlled taxiways; most with an eye on safety regarding aircraft position (nav lights) and anti-collision lights signaling running engines and/or aircraft movement.',

Light on the towbarless Supertug tractor only minimally visible; with completely dark aircraft between their B757 and Tow tractor. Technician notes long established standards requiring Anti-Collision and Nav lights not enforced during aircraft tow.'}
