Some general aviation web sites indicate private pilots are flying in larger numbers since a low point in 2020. This may raise a basic proficiency question to throw into the mix.
These pilots are also renting airplanes in larger numbers so unfamiliarity with the plane may be a factor.
With more overall flights in general aviation you may see more accidents because of sheer volume. The accident rate per flight ratio would be more meaningful than just the number of crashes to normalize the data.
On the other side of the equation, there is documentation of commercial pilots that have been dying in much larger numbers over the past two years. This group has stricter medical screening than the general population so, cause of death is more statistically meaningful. The association is there with being vaxxed and death in a short time thereafter.
“Interesting association but it may be coincidental.

Perspective is everything. I have become slightly obsessed with Flightradar 24. The number of private planes flying at any given time is pretty incredible. Also, I live near Naval Aviation Training Center Pensacola, and somewhat close to the Army Aviation Center in Ft. Rucker where they train Army helicopter pilots. Flight students at both of these bases fly constantly. At Ft. Rucker you can see 30-35 helicopters flying 8 hours a day every week day. All of them are theoretically jabbed, but they are not falling out of the sky. I’m not by any means defending the “vaccine”, but I believe in being realistic about the side effects.
