  1. Uh Lithium Ion Batteries have been banned from Passenger Cargo holds waaay longer than just 2020. At least 2010. I wonder what else this graphic gets inaccurate.

  2. Point 16 is erroneous. The time between the start of the final application of deice fluid (often there’s two applications) and the time when the pilots can no longer trust the fluid and must deice again is referred to as the holdover time. Holdover times vary based on fluid used and weather conditions.

  3. Can we add where 2025 is trending so far? I’m wondering if it’s actually high or if there’s just more focus on the ones that happen.

  4. I wonder where advancements in autopilot or Fly By Wire come into play on this graph if at all.
