More Statistics

[JumpJetter]

You gotta check this page out. Some Pretty interesting statistics, not sure where he got them all, but definitely interesting. I'll paste a few below just to "spark" converstation!!

Airline Pilots
The second most frequent cause of death among airline pilots prior to age 60 is a general aviation accident.


Your CFI as a Hazard
--75% of flight training accidents related to improper gear operation occurs with CFI aboard.
--50% of stall accidents occur with CFI aboard
--50% of training mid-air accidents occur with CFI aboard.
--50% of wire strike occurring during flight training had CFI aboard.
--Nearly 50% of emergency simulations that resulted in accidents had CFI aboard.
--40% of carburetor icing accident in training occur with CFI aboard.
--33% of fuel related accidents occur with CFI aboard.
--A training spin accident is three times more likely to occur with a CFI than a solo student.
--25% of all twin-engine aircraft accidents have a CFI aboard.


--1998 in the United States and its territories, 43,920 people died in transportation-related accidents. Aviation accounted for 683 deaths, with 621 of them in GA.

10% of IFR accidents occur to non-IFR pilots.
VFR to IFR is the #1 pilot killer
Make one IFR approach and proceed to alternate for best risk reduction.

Insurance rates

Maybe that is why insurance rate go up when you instruct in your airplane, it also the most likely place for these accidnets to happen, I mean where are you most likely to practice stalls, in flight traininig.

 

[Wiggums]

--Instruction is 20% of flying with 6% of accidents.

Statistically your less likely to have an accident during training then after it. The reason CFIs are onboard during maneuvers such as stalls and simulated emergencies is because these maneuvers are rarely done outside of training. Same for twins, most people aren't shutting down engines, purposely exploring Vmc, and shooting single engine approaches without a MEI.

--A training spin accident is three times more likely to occur with a CFI than a solo student.

--Nearly 50% of emergency simulations that resulted in accidents had CFI aboard.


the first one doesn't even make any sense. the second one, duh. i don't think any of my students have ever done a normal landing.

Talking about midairs:

14. 96% in daylight
15. 14% at night. (only 4% of flying at night)

I guess this means 110% of accidents occur in one of the 24 hours in a day?!?
