At that many landings per year FAA approved Cat III equipment has to insure that not more than 1 failure or even distorted data that isn't caught by that equipment will occur in 32,000 years.
Apparently you don't care about other people. Apparently they do.
yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say, I don't care about people. Precisely!
Geez....I figured at least one person would take what I wrote out of context. The numbers were in response to a comment that this issue is "out of control", as it there's a deluge of these sightings going on. The numbers don't lie, and they aren't based on emotion. How you got that I don't care about people from actual stats is beyond me. Even one sighting is one more than should be. It's probably dumb luck that something has happened yet, and although I don't think I need to say it...but will for clarity sake, I hope nothing ever does.
