The switches start out matching the exposure you selected. Turn any operating part on or off to add or remove its incidents and accidents from the counts.

Include incident rate estimateOnly NTSB-investigated events record a cause, so FAA incident reports never reach the risk results on their own. With this on, the historic risk adds an estimate of those incidents using the recorded ratio of incidents to accidents, spread across severity levels the way all determinable incidents in the period were.
