Safety in Numbers

The line graph above presents accident rates for instructional flights aboard airplanes for the years 2008 through 2022. (There is no activity data for 2011, so that year’s accident rates cannot be calculated.) While non-fatal accidents have declined substantially over the period, fatals have not.
