No. I was doing some research on the effect of volcanic eruptions on
aviation.

In your research, how many volcanoes did you find that had any effect
on aviation in the past 50 years?

Well....I've done no research, but I know of at least one.

A B-747 flying in the South Pacific area had all four engines
flame-out due to volcanic ash. Once out of the cloud, the crew
was able to restart the engines. ATC routed traffic around that
area for some time.

Yep! That's it. A little confusion between North and South

BA 9 was the one south of the equator. It flew through the volcanic ash
from an eruption in Indonesia. Lost all 4 engines and had the windscreen,
nose, and leading edges abraided from the impact with the particles. They
could NOT see out of the windscreen for the rest of the flight.

There have been many more!

If you are looking for effect on airliner ops, lots.

They now stay away from the plumes and that is an effect.

An encounter is something to be avoided.

Just about every erupting volcano.

How many is that and what are the percentages?

I didn't count them. Given the extreme danger from volcanic ash, just about
any eruption warrants some type of warning, although that isn't always
sufficient to keep over-confident private pilots away from the danger.

You really aren't doing "research", for if you were, the first thing
you would obtain is the total number of volcanic eruptions.

Then, if you had some special interest in their effects on private pilots,
you would get the number that occured where private pilots could possibly
be flying.

So it would seem your real objective is to just start another ****ing
contest.
