Morbid Question
 

Does anyone know the ratio of heli pilots deaths compared to A/C pilot deaths.

Both 100%. :cool:

Correct, nobody gets out alive.

I apologise for my compatriates - but it was funny:D

The answers are in CAP 701, which is in the office, so you'll have to take what I can give you from memory:-

Light helicopters (certified): 1 per 53,000 hrs
Light aircraft (certified): 1 per 72,000 hrs
Microlights: 1 per 50,000 hrs
Gliders: 1 per 47,000 hrs
Homebuilts: 1 per 35,000 hrs (not absolutely certain of this figure)
Gyroplanes: 1 per 8,000 hrs.

Hope this helps,

Yup!

Flyin' is a part of life and life is just a sexually transmitted, terminal disease.
