I am wondering where I can find fatal crash statistics for small light
single or double prop engine aircraft vs. Helicopter crash statistics? Eg. Cessna Skyplane vs. Bell 206 Jetranger/Robinson Perhaps comparing number of deaths per year to total hours flown, or number of flights. I'd like to know which is statistically more dangerous. Thanks. |

Historically, the Bell Jetranger, had the lowest accident rate of any single engined aircraft (a few years ago, checking UK statistics). Whether this is still true I don't know. The Cessna 172, had one of the best figures, but loses a little because of the amount of training done in it. The Robinson is worse. I presume you mean a 'Skylane', rather than a 'Skyplane'?. A lot also has to do with how the planes are 'used'. You are more likely to find a twin flying frequent IFR, than most singles, and (unfortunately), this increases the risks. Best Wishes |
