Right above it, it references the NTSB database which is how I believe these charts were derived. It would have been nice if they had put date query stats next to it as well though. | |

| Oct 28, 2018 at 0:22 | comment | added | David | diamondaircraft.com/about-diamond/safety-features has the graph I was quoting but there are plenty other more independent ones with similar numbers. I've never seen the SR20 quoted that low. Is that just a single year quoted that low, or is this a consistent low over many years? Is it derived from the NTSB database like the other stats? Thanks! | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 22:34 | comment | added | Romeo_4808N | Actually current accident statistics indicate the SR20 had a fatal accident rate of 0.42/100,000 flight hours compared with the DA40 at 0.35/100,000 flight hours as of 2015. This is probably due to much improved transition training on the part of Cirrus. In the past the SR20 had much higher accident rates than the Diamond. | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 22:11 | comment | added | Romeo_4808N | And where exactly are you obtaining this data from? | |
| Oct 27, 2018 at 21:04 | comment | added | David | "And the SR20 has an excellent safety record, comparable with the DA40". This is not a fair statement. SR20 has about 3X the crash rate and over 5X the fatality rate. That is not what I someone would call comparable. | |
