Single Pilot IFR
To pick up where another thread is leaving off:
single pilot IFR is not inherently dangerous. There is no reason solo pilots can't do the job if you give them the same training, equipment, and organisational support that the bigger outifts have. Unfortunately that's not always the case, and will never be possible for some operators. Single pilot operators are more likely to be in a small company, in a small aircraft, on a small budget, with all the attendant pressures and cost-saving measures that entails.
Yes the accident rate single pilot IFR is higher - but if you look at the causes of the accidents, I think you'll find that one of the three ingredients above is missing. Again, it doesn't mean that just because an aeroplane is flying single pilot it will eventually have an accident.
On another thread there is mention of some NZ approaches (AP and PM in particular) being 'dangerous'. Those approaches comply with the same design criteria as all the other approaches in New Zealand, so what they're really trying to say is that the design criteria for all those approaches is not prohibitive enough... yes?
