light aircraft accident risk?


Recommended Posts

On p39 of the Sept. 2014 issue of Sport Pilot is an article about a court case, in which it says:

 

"the court found the risk likely to materialise even though it had a low probability of occurring (based on statistical evidence that 1 in 500 light aircraft flights in 2007 ended in a serious accident)."

 

1 in 500 flights? Seems very high: some schools would have an accident every week!

 

Any thoughts?
