*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week, AVweb asked readers if they were concerned
about having a mid-air collision.
By and large, our readers feel that mid-air
collisions are just one of many dangers they must guard
against. 57% of our readership were happy to lump
this danger in with all the other potential hazards of
flying a plane.
28% of respondents, however, were willing to rank a
mid-air collision as one of their "top five" concerns.
And another 7% went as far as saying it's their greatest
flying fear.
Only 1% of readers confessed that mid-air collisions
are something they never think about. And another
1% subscribe to the notion that a mid-air collision is
more a matter of fate than pilot control and
preparation.
The final 5% of our readership reminded us that they
sky is a big place and that we're all playing a numbers
game (that thankfully skews in our favor) when we share
it with other planes.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week, AVweb wants to know how much attention to
pay to hypoxia in the cockpit. Sure, it depends a lot on
the performance of the aircraft — but it depends just as
much on the performance of the pilot. And some of the
contributing factors are well out of your control.
How much concern do you grant hypoxia when you fly?
