Thanks, I was on the TSB site and looking at the statistics reports. You are correct, the figure is a total of 18 MAC events since 1995. (excludes one incorrectly allocated to MAC, and another that was a RPV vs aircraft, which is also discounted for the FAA, UKAAIB and FRA BEA data. In the last 13 years, there have been 9 MACs in Canada. The fleet and annual hours flown are around 2.3 times larger than Australia. The raw rate of events is 0.6 year, and if ajusted for fleet size or annual hours flown, around 0.5 (comparative figures are for 2016, Canada 4.55M FH AUS 3.35M FH.
