Default Safety, yet again...

Which is safer flying or driving?

Fatalities per million trips Odds of being
killed on a single trip:
Airliner (Part 121) 0.019
52.6 million to 1
Automobile 0.130
7.6 million to 1
Commuter Airline (Part 135 scheduled) 1.72 581,395 to
1
Commuter Plane (Part 135 - Air taxi on demand) 6.10 163,934 to 1
General Aviation (Part 91) 13.3
73,187 to 1


Part 91 includes business aviation as well as recreational/personal flying.
BusAv is several times (x ?) safer than recreationa/personal flying. You can
break BusAv out into Corporate Avaition, with a couple ATP's flying a G5,
and into ownerflown singles (call it BusAv and CorpAv).

IIRC, CorpAv is even safer than Part 135 ???
