ATsBeaker;
Wirestrikes (where an aircraft hits a wire such as a powerline) caused 11 accidents and serious incidents in the 12 month period. Other types of accidents and serious incidents were engine failure or malfunction (6), collision with terrain (3), controlled flight into terrain (2) and runway excursion (2).
Maybe so. However it would be nice to see those figures compared with the amount of ULD loading incidents JQ have had in which incorrect weight and balance calculations were supplied or incorrect loading and positioning of containers including the ones not latched down correctly. A lot more lives put at risk through just one of those incidents than with Ag farmer Bob in his crop duster dodging power lines.
Just sayin.........
