Air travel is unbelievably safe. With 4.03 fatalities per million flight hours*, you have a much greater chance of dying in your home or car. However, commercial airlines are OFF COURSE 98% of the time. We rely on airline pilots (and the autopilot) to make continuous minute corrections to allow us to arrive safely at our destination. Small changes in direction make all the difference in determining our final arrival point. For example, you get on an airplane and leave Los Angeles for New York on a bearing of 65º. If you leave on a bearing of 63º, you end up in Boston… about 200 miles off course!
