Why no one has died in a commercial passenger jet crash in more than a year
Not a single person perished in a commercial passenger jet crash in 2017, making the year an extraordinarily safe one for flying. New reports from two separate organizations in the Netherlands summarize just how incredibly safe it was to take to the skies commercially, and aviation experts say that the recent streak is simply a part of trend going back years (so feel free to ignore that tweet from the President claiming it’s his doing.)

I believe the GFC700 with hypoxia aware/emergency descent (the display inquires if you are alert after a period of inactivity if no response should perform emergency descent to a safe altitude automatically) standard equipment on the SR22T after 2013 model years. Whatever happend to make him unresponsive (hypoxia, sudden medical event) shouldn't the automated emergecy descent mode been activated? The flightaware info for N325JK shows the aircraft held 19000ft perfectly even as airspeed appears to have degraded over time so I am making the admittedly large assumption that the autopilot was activated on the flight. Is there a techinical reason the autopilot logic may not perform the descent?
Do ignore this. I posted to the wrong window. Quite embarrassing. Wish FA would let you delete/ edit responses.
Been there, done that, someone stole the t-shirt.
I am still convinced that this record year in safelty is because Donald Trump sprinkles orange fairy dust on all of the planes at three in the morning before his daily tweetfart.
Everyone knows it will happen sometime and those stats will hurt but Today’s Pilots take great Pride in their Jobs and use their checklist, equipment, and CRM to take us off and them and land us and them safely back on the ground! Amazing we forget a couple of Bike shop owners got us in the air at all!
I agree to disagree! Tighter regulations on “who” gets in our country is definitely Trumps doing.
Second, we have The Best Aviators in the World with better and better equipment!
Also, the FAA does a great job in making us pilots do it “Wright” as was intended by the brothers!

You are a silly person.
Myopic view or what? Best aviators in the world? Evidence please. Best technology in the world? Evidence please? Open your eyes sir/madam. The world is a big and marvellous place with plenty of "best aviators" and plenty of "best technology".
