The record

The business turbine record

Accidents in US business turbine aviation since 2008, set against the exposure that produced them: every year each aircraft spent on the US register.

2.29
Accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years, US business turbine aircraft, fixed wing, crop dusters excluded.
81%
of turbine accidents with occupants aboard kill no one
20.8%
of accident aircraft destroyed

Outcomes

How badly the aircraft was damaged, among accidents in the window.

Among turbine accidents with occupants aboard, 81 percent kill no one and 15 percent kill everyone aboard. Partial outcomes are rare. The accident rate says how often the call comes; what happened aboard decides whether the file is a hull claim or a catastrophe.
