This Python script goes through all necessary and applicable data-cleaning steps for inclusion in The Accountability Project. This Python script produces a file similar to, but not exactly the same as, the airmen files previously produced for TAP. This file contains a few different fields created out of raw data fields:
This script also combines the
PILOT_BASIC.csv
andNONPILOT_BASIC.csv
files.There are two other airmen files included in the .zip file downloaded from the FAA — they are
NONPILOT_CERT.csv
andPILOT_CERT.csv
— those files are not currently included in this script, but O'Dea can add them next week. The file on TAP right now seems to only include data from the _BASIC files, but the UNIQUEID field should allow for joining of all four files, if we want that.
