Methodology & corrections

How stories are selected

We scan a fixed group of established aviation publishers once each day, verify publication dates, remove duplicates, and rank stories by safety, scale, industry consequences, and lasting significance. Every selected article must have been published within the 24 hours before the edition is made.

We exclude older or undated reporting and do not repeat a previously published story unless the source contains a meaningful factual update. Developing or unusually significant stories do not receive an exception to the 24-hour publication window.

How summaries are made

Automated tools condense the source reporting into a headline, summary, what happened, and why it matters. Summaries must retain the original publisher and source URL. AvTLDR is a briefing service, not the original reporter; the linked source remains authoritative.

Corrections

If a summary is inaccurate, misleading, or missing important context, email contact@avtldr.news with the headline and source link. We review correction requests and update the briefing where appropriate.
