And not to be a slave to statistics, but on average who do you think makes a STATISCALLY higher number of mistakes per flight hour that might lead to an incident or accident? The 500 HR or 2500 HR pilot?
I'm not sure that I have EVER anyone's post (that at least has a sliver of credibility) that suggested that even high time airlines pilots are immune to making mistakes :rolleyes: USMCFLYR PS - the question above already has a statistical answer that most on this forum will know. But we all know about statistics right? |

Are you statistically talking of airline or general aviation? If you are speaking of GA errors than your numbers are skewed because there is much larger pool of sub 2500 hour pilots than above. That would result in a higher number of mistakes, but not necessary a higher average of mistakes on a one to one basis.
In the safety courses that I have attended, the higher risk aviators have fallen around the 500 and 1500 hr marks. Take the statistical reports with a grain of salt. If I was an internet warrior interested in hours of research I could probably find some evidence that these are the safest pilots out there! But I'll lean towards the studies that I have seen for now - unless something better crosses my screen. USMCFLYR |
