The ATSB has released a document on "research investigation analysis" of mid-air collisions over a period of 42 years of flying
There were 37 midair's - all of which were light aircraft - and of that number 58 aircraft were involved in or near the circuit area mainly at secondary airports with similar air traffic control to Archerfield
Statistics can be used in various ways to prove/disprove just about anything - here is something to think about - it's 10 times safer for a female to fly in a light aircraft in QLD than to be in a marriage type relationship
(News Desk research indicates that domestic violence kills about 30 females in QLD each year - light aircraft accidents claim about 6 lives of which approx half are female)
