Air travel is among the safest forms of transportation, but the idea of flying with the same ease as driving a car seems like a fantasy even for experienced pilots.   

Fatal airliner accidents have decreased consistently over the past 50 years, based on data collected by the Aviation Safety Network. Currently, there is roughly one fatality for every two million flights. This indicates that, on average, a fatal aviation accident happens only after more than 2 million flights.   

Flying an airplane is statistically considered safer than driving. However, data from the National Travel and Safety Board (NTSB) shows that private airplanes are far more dangerous by an order of magnitude.
