A problem with this methodology, it seems to me, is that other YE pilots

a
flight counts as a YE flight--a pilot might take the form along in the

and either turn it in afterward (assuming the pilot survived) or not.

(That was me, not Jose.)

The only one that I know of that may fit is the Colorado fatality and
even though I thought it was a YE flight (also mentioned as such in
the NTSB report), there seems to be some uncertainty that it was a YE
flight.

Right. The question is how many more like that there may be that we *don't*
know of; even a single instance dramatically changes the YE fatality rate.
The NTSB mentioned YE in the Colorado instance only because a witness on the
ground happened to be aware of and mention the flight's (alleged) status as
a YE flight.
