Why ever might such a thing "seem" to you? I assume we're talking about GA here. Are there really enough military and commercial women pilots for the stats to be meaningful? My own guess is that men run out of gas more often, fly VFR into IMC more often, and have buzzing accidents more often than women do, accidents per million miles flown. And that women by contrast have more stall/spin accidents. And that overall women GA pilots have fewer accidents than men do. -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net |

more often, and have buzzing accidents more often than women do, accidents per million miles flown. I'd say that's a good guess. And that women by contrast have more stall/spin accidents. But what leads you to that premise? vince norris |

While I get into trouble by being too aggressive, she gets into trouble by being too timid. Or as the mother said to her son the L-4 pilot in the Philippines: "Be careful out there, dear. Fly low and slow." -- all the best, Dan Ford email (put Cubdriver in subject line) Warbird's Forum: www.warbirdforum.com Piper Cub Forum: www.pipercubforum.com the blog: www.danford.net |
