As Jack Webb said in Dragnet again and again: "Just the facts please."
John Smith did an analysis of the canopy accident record and found:
"The figure I derived from historical data is actually around "3 in 100,000 take-offs."
If you shift the zeros around this is 30 per million take offs.
The general standard for a single point failure leading to accident is generally accepted as 1 per million.
With the actual incidence being 30 times greater than the standard, the evidence shouts for corrective action. A warning light is the WEAKEST fix. We can do better. We should.
Facts are such stubborn things.
