Does something like this get you anywhere? https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/by_the_numbers/media/Air_Traffic_by_the_Numbers_2022.pdf

Seems there were fewer overall flights?

Thank you! I do see they have a ‘flights handled’ by ATC number in there, but I see the same 2020 number for total flights. Maybe I can compare the flights handled.

Awesome! Thought at least you might be able to get an annual scale factor out of that — looking forward to what you find!

I found your blog in Dr. Stillwagon's list of recommended reads.

I am SO grateful that there is an experienced pilot like yourself paying attention to these potential "vaxxidents."

I will post another comment with some of the links I've saved related to medical emergencies on airplanes. Perhaps they will inspire a future post!

Thank you! Unfortunately I have been very busy lately, but I hope to give this substack more attention soon. I would very much appreciate any and all additions!

While a/c accident rates are important to track what I find even more alarming are the many pilot incapacitations that the industry is experiencing now. (In over 31 years of flying I only saw one pilot (pic) illness)

I apologize I have not been keeping up on this substack as much as I’d like. Please follow US Freedom Flyers social media as I post everything on there: https://linktr.ee/usfreedomflyers and we are working on having a substack for US Freedom Flyers specifically in the near future.
