Are aircraft accidents really up in 2021?
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?
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!
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)

Do you have a post incoming that addresses the change in FAA cardio standards? Is there something there? Thanks!
