It would be interesting to compare these numbers with other combatants, that would enable us to judge the results more effectively.

Also you mention take off and landing, but that doesn't differentiate between mechanical, weather or pilot error. In general take off and landing are still the most dangerous moment.

Now this isn't critique, it is great to see figures.
