Using flight hours flown for GA - USA 10.3 per million flight hours, Australia 8.5 per million (graph on page 12).

Certainly that's a much more representative dataset. It would be interesting to see how the most recent few years look against that longer term trend.

I am getting a sense of déjà vu all over again with this topic. I'm sure it has been kicked around in the past with some discussion about the higher percentage of instrument rated pilots in the GA community in the US when compared to Australia.
