If you want to be an airline pilot, then you need to know what countries are the most dangerous for air force pilots. Unfortunately, this is the kind of information that’s kept under lock and key by the airlines themselves. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of the 10 most dangerous countries for commercial pilot applicants.

But it’s not. The United States is actually number 10 on this list. The reason for this is that the IASB only collects data on pilot fatalities
