Best/Worst Safety record/practices by country, region, airport, demographics
Pilots make mistakes and die everywhere, but which places/demographics do better/worse than others?
I know that no one has any across the board hours_flown:fatalities metrics, but I wonder if anecdotes and impressions have some value. |

I think a better question is why some places have better safety
records. One of the obvious positive factors are those groups who self-insure. It provides a motive for everyone to watch out for the flying practices of their fellow pilots. Tom Knauff |

Tom Knauff At our club, the chief flight instructor and the #1 tow pilot are the guys with the place where the broken stuff will go. Needless to say, that is a strong incentive for trying to have safe operations. FWIW UH |
