The loss rate per unit of traffic is no higher than in comparable busy seas.

**Most likely** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests supported it: four pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Losses per transit or per flight-hour in a fixed Triangle polygon fall within the range of comparison seas.
- The Triangle's share of world losses tracks its share of world traffic.

## What would rule it out

- A traffic-normalised rate significantly above comparable seas that persists after weather is controlled for.
