They also almost certainly have a disproportionately low number of flight hours in a given time period. The discrepancy between occurrences for pilots with PPLs and students is much more likely simply due to the former flying a lot more than the latter rather than being less safe. The students who do fly frequently usually don't remain students very long. | |
