Odds.

Lose and engine over Bass Strait and you’re most likely to die*.

Lose an engine over 90 miles of land around say Southern Victoria and your are highly un-likely to die.

It’s not about the level of risk, but rather the impact should the risk be realised.

* Note we have determined that nobody has ever survived a fixed wing ditching in Bass Straight.
