So, based on these numbers, I have a 1.3% chance of a fatal accident
before I reach 1000 hours. Wow, that is a bit high....


But you will only kill 1.75 people in the plane[*]. If you carry 1.75
passengers all the time, the chances of YOU dying go way down. Just
make sure they don't wear their seatbelts.
[*] also 1.6% of one person on the ground. Maybe someone will lose a
hand.
