REFLECTOR: Mid-air collisions

[Chuck Jensen]

Statistically speaking, that's very comforting.  Nonetheless, when I
launch, I always have that gnawing feeling that someone else may have
just flown the 999,999th hour.

Thanks,
Chuck Jensen

So, what about Light Aircraft?

First, some statistics.  The general aviation (ie, light aircraft, not 
transport category aircraft) accident rate is on the order of 10
incidents 
per 100,000 flight hours, with about 1% of those mid air-collisions. So
as a 
ball-park figure, put the mid-air rate at 1 / 1,000,000 flight hours.


Best... Steve
