The Federal Aviation Administration said reports of air-traffic-control mistakes more than doubled nationwide last year, but they attributed nearly all of the increase to a new automated system that vastly expanded the amount of data collected.
They were talking about over 4,000 incidents last year (10+ per day) vs. 1,900 the year before (5+ per day). They both seem like very small numbers, when you consider that there are about 80,000 flights in the air at some point every day, unless you happened to be on one of those ten flights.
