![]() Are you assuming that the 1.3/100k fatal accident rate applies to the type of flying that you do? I'll take that bate. Yes, it is one component of the statistic. The 1.3/100K is an aggregate of all types of GA flying. Divide that into different categories of flight (mountain flying, bush flying, IMC, Night, etc: of course being careful that categories don't share population like my examples...) and it is very reasonable to hypothesize that the statistics across types could be very different.

Carl Exactly. My reason for asking is that pilots seem to think that the 1.3/100K rate represents what they think of as "GA" but it encompasses a lot of hours of bizjet flying which have a accident rate about 3% of the light GA rate so the light GA rate is actually much higher. If you then separate light GA into catagoies you find that personal flying is 50% greater than the average light GA rate (Nall Report). So personal flying across all risks (including "stupid pilot tricks") has about twice the fatal accident rate as the often quoted 1.3/100K. Mike MU-2 |
