Male and Female Pilots Cause Accidents Differently
Male pilots flying general aviation (private) aircraft in the United States are more likely to crash due to inattention or flawed decision-making. While female pilots are more likely to crash from mishandling the aircraft. These are the results of a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The study identifies the differences between male and female pilots in terms of circumstances of the crash and the type of pilots error involved. "Crashes of general aviation aircraft account for 85 percent of all aviation deaths in the United States. The crash rate for male pilots, as for motor vehicle drivers, exceeds that of crashes of female pilots," explains Susan P. Baker, MPH, professor of health policy and management at the Bloomberg School of Public Health. "Because pilot youth and inexperience are established contributors to aviation crashes, we focus
A. Crashes of general aviation aircraft are a major source of aviation accidents in the United States.
B. Male pilots, like male vehicle drivers, are more likely to have accidents than female pilots.
C. It is commonly known that aircraft crashes are mostly caused by young and inex- perienced pilots.
D. Only mature pilots are studied to determine the gender differences in the reasons for aircraft crash.
