Does anyone know how to extract the "stupid pilot trick" fatalities
(I.E.: Running out of gas; Flying into terrain; Buzzing your girlfriend's house; etc.) from this statistic? Why would you want to? Because I'm interesting in *my* probability of dying in a plane crash, not anyone elses. Since I: a) Usually fly with two pilots on board b) Have a well-oiled cockpit resource management scheme in place c) Always top off the tanks after each flight d) Never fly IFR e) Never fly at night f) Never "buzz" anyone's house g) Never skip a pre-flight inspection h) Personally supervise the maintenance of my plane i) Don't let anyone else fly my plane j) Rarely fly in mountains k) Fly twice per week, on average l) Maintain excellent health m) Don't "skate" on maintenance n) Keep the plane in a locked hangar ....I conclude that I may eliminate many of the "stupid pilot tricks" from my personal risk assessment. Trouble is, I don't know how to do that... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
