There is a strong US lobby
The annual OGP stats were/are also biased to show GOM ops with singles to be as safe as twin ops around the globe, so I would include all OGP members as party to this conspiracy.
About a decade ago a N Sea S76 suffered a lightning strike that was quoted in the OGP stats as an accident, yet numerous fatal accidents in the GOM were not counted. The basis for inclusion of the S76 was the cost of the repair. The natural conclusion from this is that the OGP place no $ value on the life of a pilot! Shameful.
