Hi JETLAG03@TyroGyro interesting data but as you say lacks substance. We need time period, number of machines in each country, number of hours collectively flown in each country to make these numbers anything other than "just numbers" respectfully Phil
To a degree that is true, and from my previous investigations it is almost impossible to ascertain accurate numbers of machines for all, or even most, countries, while we do have pretty accurate figures for the global number.. We must come down to "finger-in-the-wind" estimates. But today that is not my purpose. It is suffice to say that it is startling that fully 60% of the world's Big-3 gyro fatal accidents have occurred in just 3 countries... I do believe there are reasons for that, some regulatory, some training, some environmental.
I also believe that the UK is one of the safest countries to fly a gyro in. [Statistically, at least. Of course anyone can have an accident. No-one is immune, purely due to statistics, or their nationality]
Again, there is a reason for that. Some regulatory, some training. And the IAPGT philosophy, founded in the UK...
