FLIGHT International, 30 May 1963 111 WORLD AIR SAFETY... Next, total air transport mileage (actually km), scheduled and non-scheduled, was similarly assessed. The 1962 increase in non- scheduled km, not yet published, was estimated as 10 per cent, compared with the 15 per cent increase that actually occurred in the case of scheduled mileage flown. We then have two measures of total air transport activity, production and mileage, against which to assess two measures of air transport safety: number of fatal accidents and number of passenger and crew fatalities. We can now work out for each country: (1) number of fatal accidents per mile; (2) number of fatalities per mile; (3) number of fatal accidents per unit of total transport production; (4) number of fatalities per unit of total transport production. It is suggested that these four criteria compensate for many of the deficiencies in the commonly accepted safety index of passen ger fatalities per 100m scheduled passenger-miles. One other criterion—undoubtedly the most valid of all—is number of fatal accidents per flight. After all, what people want to know when they embark on a journey, whether it is by car, train, boat, bus, aircraft or bike, are their chances of getting to their destinations in one piece. They are not impressed by such statements as: "You will have to fly 100m km with us before you are likely to (Text continued on page 780) FRANCE Date 7. 2.53 17. 3.53 10. 4.53 16. 4.53 16. 6.53 2. 8.53 1. 9.53 10.10.53 4. 4.54 13. 4.54 21. 5.54 8. 6.54 12. 8.54 16. 8.54 4.12.54 18. 4.55 3. 6.55 8. 1.56 20. 2.56 28. 4.57 30. 4.57 29. 2.58 II. 5.58 26.12.58 30. 3.59 4. 9.59 29. 5.60 19. 8.60 20. 5.61 12. 9.61 13. 6.62 22. 6.62 29.12.62 Aircraft DC-4 Dakota Ju52 DC-3 DC-3 Constellation Constellation SO-30P Skymaster Lodestar Dakota Dakota Dakota Bristol 170 Dakota Heron Skymascer Dakota DC-6B Dakota L.I 049 Cataiina Dakota DC-6B Noratlas DC-7C Caravelle Constellation Constellation Caravelle Boeing 707 Boeing 707 Boeing 307 Operator UAT Aigle-Azur Indochine Air France Aigle-Aiur Indochine Aigle-Azur Indochine Air France Air France Air Maroc Cie de Transports Aeriens Autrex Societe Indochinoise de Ravitaillement Cie de Transports Aeriens Autrex STAEO SARL Air Vietnam Air Laos UAT UAT Air France TAI Air France Air France RAI Air France UAT UAT TAI Air Algerie Air France Air France Air France Air France Air France Airnautic Service — — F NSP NSP SP SP P — P F — NSP SP SP NSF F SP SP SP NSP NSP SP — SP SP SP SP SP NSP SP NSP Location Nr Bordeaux Tourane, Indo China Madagascar Hanoi Pakse, Laos Fetiye Gulf Nr Barcelonnette Tangier Gia Lam Laos Hanoi South Tourane Between Saigon and Hanoi Pakse, Laos Nr Luangprabang Cameroon!
