"Icebound" wrote in message .cable.rogers.com... Weather as a factor in about 360, but only about 120 or so "IMC", most others are wind, carb-icing, and density altitude. But fatal accidents disproportionately involve weather. And lots of "power related" accidents are truly fuel exhaustion. And most power-reltaed "accidents" are not fatals. Weather and pilot judgment remain the biggest potentially fixable issues. I also strongly suspect that lots of "power related" accidents are related to owners who are marginally able to afford to maintain their airplanes optimally. I wonder how much of supposed turbine engine reliability is related to the turbine engine itself vs. to open-checkbook by-the-book maintenance. -------------------- Richard Kaplan, CFII www.flyimc.com
