An average of 35 midairs a year over the past 10 years is no worse than our record. Give me a break - even if you account for the variation in movement numbers we sh!t all over the US stats.
..........
Nother Aussie wet dream..
Facts please, the average number of US midairs is less than 20, mostly light private aircraft (some balloons), with a survival rate of around 50%. Risk of collission is an exponential probability....example for simple pilot mentality: when you land at twice the speed, you use more than twice the runway.
Annual accidental death statistics in the US:
machinery 350
firearms 1500
suffocations 3300
fires and burns 3700
drownings 4000
poisonings 8600
falls 14900
car wrecks 43200
So you all now.....untighten your butts and acknowledge
NOT really an issue!! ....
