What if we do the calculation based on fatal accidents per unit of aircraft manufactured... Isn't it then alarmingly high?
For example if only 1,000 aircraft (of a given type) are produced, maybe 1% will be involved in fatal accidents over their life time.
"per unit of aircraft manufactured" isn't too meaningful when the utilization of the aircraft is considered. I'm not up to date on annual numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if a T7 might spend 50% of its time airborne - I.E. 4000 hours per year. How many cars are driven 4000 hrs in a year? Right away an apples-to-apples comparison doesn't work!
