Mark, thank you for alerting us to the new training program. I am
particularly interested in the paragraph that states:
"Statistics show that approximately 65 percent of all fatal air carrier
accidents list human error as a probable cause," said Dr. Herman Rediess,
director of the Office of Aviation Research.
Can you steer me to the FAA document where that original statistic came
from? I have always heard a NASA stat of 75 percent.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Mayes
