Air carrier is what I'm talking about.
So my question is, why wouldn't you consider all of the air carrier fatalities for the accident rate? If you are going to limit to 121, that's fine, just say "121".
FAR 61.160 is what we are discussing in this thread, and it only applies to certain operations. It appears you would like to have a discussion about something else, which is confusing the rest of us.
