Article in "Todays Pilot" refers to a report published by John Hopkins University - male and female pilots crash for different reasons.
Civil and military accidents between 1983 and 1997 involving 144 female and 287 male pilots showed that "Males tend to trade accuracy for speed... they would rather do something faster even if they don't do it accurately. Women tend to be more cautious and pay greater attention to the rules". According to the report, crashes involving female pilots are mostly due to mishandling of the aircraft while male pilots are more likely to crash because of flawed decision making.
