Though drawing conclusions when the rarity of events makes data points so scarce is somewhat debatable.

Indeed. We should have more total air disasters to have more data points! :mrgreen:

...with these data in mind, it's not a bad thought to go easy on the "Stupid Cowboy Improvisation" comments, along with my own rantings for measured-pull-up training programs, and Gabe's international alignment on "cleared to land", and the number of autopilots needed for go-arounds, and visual approaches to taxiway (insider phonetic letter of the day) and mucho Et. cetera...

Thank you to Flyboy and Dummy (and Les Abend and Sam Weigel) for your always-genius work.

I think we should be thanking BBie instead. He retired and safety increased! :P
