172's are pretty easy...safety depends on a lot of factors though!

Actually, I recall that the 172 has proven itself. The determination is made from the estimated hours flown verses the number of airplanes built verses the number of fatal crashes.

The safest plane is the one I'm not flying.

yeah...thats what I was saying when I was reading this post!!LOL
 
Diamond Katana (DA20-A1) also agree with the C172. Do a search on the ntsb site for the DA20-A1. No U.S. fatalities.

One student was cleared to land on 16L and thought it was 16R. A 737 was cleared to land on 16R. The student got caught in the wake turbulence very close to the 737. The katana rolled and crashed into the ground upside down. Both people survived. Wonder if they have any back problems?
 
The piper cub is the safest airplane in the sky. It can just barely kill you.
