  title: FlightFinder Aviation Safety Data API — API Evangelist enhancements
  version: 1.0.0
x-provenance:
  generated: '2026-09-03'
  method: generated
  source: >-
    Generated against openapi/flightfinder-aviation-safety-data-openapi.json
    (fetched verbatim from https://himaxym.com/api/v1/data/openapi.json on
    2026-09-03). This overlay is OUR enhancement layer and is never merged into the
    provider's original spec.
  rationale: >-
    The served contract is unusually candid in prose but thin in machine-readable
    handles: not one of its 18 operations declares an operationId, and it declares no
    tags at all. Both are pure additions — they change no behaviour and contradict
    nothing the provider states. The operationIds below are OUR proposal, derived
    from method + path, and are marked as such so nothing downstream mistakes them
    for the provider's own naming.

x-gaps-not-fixed-here:
- No 5xx response is declared on any operation. An overlay could add one, but that
  would assert a contract the provider has not made — reported instead.
- The hazard aggregate responses are untyped objects. Modelling them would be
  authoring the provider's schemas, not enhancing them.
- No request/response examples exist. Adding them would put values into the
  provider's contract that the provider never published.
