Fair enough, but such an average would be meaningless, for the reasons given: the operator has a lot of control over the actual MTBF (unfortunately, without knowing what it will be)

What % of GA ditchings are survived by all aboard? But even in asking that question, I am going right back to what I say to bluskis. What is needed is a breakdown of survivability versus sea state, carriage of rafts, carriage of EPIRBs, etc. Without that, it is like saying the average of 0 and 10 is 5.
