Something that no one addressed is how safe aviation can be. Commercial flight operations, operate under constraints of economics and time schedules, yet the carriers have an outstanding safety record.


Strict procedures and limited pilot autonomy. Airline pilots flying general aviation aircraft crash at about the same rate as non-pro pilots.
