According to FLYING about a year beck it is the C172...but I think its any plane that a doctor isn't flying

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?

I always thought PA28 was considered pretty forgiving, no?

The piper cub is the safest airplane in the sky. It can just barely kill you.

It can just barely kill you.

What's the difference between being barely dead and completly dead

An extra $5,000 for the mortician to make you look good at your funeral.

 

[PAPA FOX!]

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

The safest plane is whatever one I AM flying!!

 

[siucavflight]

The Lancair has never had a fatal crash.

 

[FlyJordan]

High wings are gay.

Actually the Bell 206 Jet Ranger. (Hours flown vs. fatalities)

Give me some time and I'll pull up the reference for everybody. The only other aircraft with numbers as good is believe it or not, the C-130 Hercules.

 

[jetdriven]

there has not been one in flight airframe failure of a c-182 or c-172 ever. pretty safe airplane if you ask me.

Wrong! There have been 2 inflight structural failures in 172's, none for 182's.

They happened within weeks apart last year.

I remember reading that about the Jet Ranger. I told my uncle (who introduced me to flying at a young age, and who is anti-helicopter) and he said "Yea right...the article is B.S".

I believe the C-172 came in 2nd.
