I've had many non-pilot friends and co-workers ask, "Is flying a small plane more or less dangerous than driving a car?", to which my response has always been "It depends on who is piloting the plane." However, in order to get a firmer answer from a statistical standpoint on this question, I decided to do a little homework: It has so much to do both with pilot experience level and type of operation. Day VFR, Night VFR, Day IFR, and night IFR. Only Day VFR has the potential for being *very* safe in small, single-engine aircraft. No, I cannot pin down what "ver" means exactly in this context. But, my observations over 50 years of being around this stuff tells me that experienced pilots seldom crash on good VFR daytime operations. |
