Hull Loss
Well although two dots has been flamed comprehensively..surely he has a point...although perhaps badly made. My perception would be that cargo aircraft do crash with more frequency than passenger aircraft...if only from reading PPrune! Has anyone got the stats for hull loss against distance flown or indeed take offs and landing for pax vs cargo? Since whilst there are lies damn lies and statistics this would give us some idea whether this perception is correct...
Whilst clearly it is unlikely that cargo pilots are any more or less careful than there pax flying colleagues...there are a number of other factors that I can think of that might cause the exercise to be more risky
(a) Older aircraft (a lot of cargo aircraft are ex pax that have reached the end of their commercial life from a pax airline point of view)
(b) Less wealthy operators
(c) Nature of the cargo flown, dangerous goods etc
(d) Unsocial working hours
(e) Operate into out of different potentially less well maintained airports
None of the above will apply to ALL cargo operators but I am sure that you would find that some or all of them do to others.
