Post Aviation facts

Food for thought:

Non-precision approaches: 5-8 * more risky than precision

Freight, ferry or positionning flights: 8 * more risky than passenger

Night flights: 3 * more risky than day

Flights in Africa: 5 * more risky than rest of the world

Also:

Captain flying in 74% of accidents

29% of CFIT accidents occur in flat terrain

Finally:

Frank Bird's triangle:

1 fatal accident

10 non-fatal accidents

30 cases of property damage

300-600 hazards/incidents
