I fiddled with the math on the probable number of Y/E hours flown,
and the few known number of nonserious incidents (something like 3
since 1991) to compute the accident rate/100,000 hours. Having a
Y/E aboard is one of the safest ways to fly.

Cool. But could you elaborate please? How did you calculate the number of
hours flown? What do you mean by nonserious incidents? And how do you know
how many such incidents (and how many serious incidents) there have been, if
there's no comprehensive reporting system in place for them?

The rate is so low

What is the rate?

that it isn't necessary to adjust for the fact that most accidents
occur within a few miles of an airport,

That's a fact? What's its source?

Thanks,
Gary
