[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 131170985, member: 1112294"] The FAA says the fatal accident rate across all aviation types in the US is 0.84 per 100,000 flight hours, less than the 1.02 it reports for helicopters. According to the US Helicopter Safety Team, the helicopter accident rate for 2019 was 0.82 per 100,000 flight hours, with 24 accidents claiming 55 lives. TPG analysis of a decade of safety data: Like almost every other mode of transportation, flying in a helicopter is considerably more dangerous than airline travel. But it’s far safer than riding in a car. There’s no perfect metric for comparing any two modes of transportation, no ideal way to get an apples-to-apples comparison, such as helicopters to cars. But because all transportation modes have metrics in common, it’s possible to triangulate and devise a rough index comparing all the modes. [URL]https://thepointsguy.com/news/are-helicopters-safe-how-they-stack-up-against-planes-cars-and-trains/[/URL] Helicopters are complicated machines that require a high degree of skill to operate safely. Operational error that leads to a crash can occur during the planning, flying, training or maintenance of the craft. Some examples of operational error that causes helicopter accidents include: [LIST] [*]Failing to properly plan a flight path. [*]Failing to adequately maintain the helicopter. [*]Failing to operate the craft properly. [*]Operating the helicopter in unsafe conditions. [*]Failing to undergo appropriate training for flight and maintenance personnel. [*]Failing to provide proper training manuals and operational procedures. [*]Failing to follow proper oversight and review procedures. [/LIST] When a helicopter crash occurs because of one or more of these human errors, there may be several different parties who are negligent. The pilot, the company who employed him, the maintenance company responsible for the craft’s upkeep, and more may all be held liable in a Louisiana [URL='https://thelambertfirm.com/maritime-injury/helicopter-accidents/common-helicopter-accident-injuries/']helicopter injury[/URL] lawsuit. Mechanical malfunctions can include problems in the following areas: [LIST] [*]Design [*]Testing [*]Manufacturing [*]Quality control [*]Operational monitoring [*]Maintenance [*]Installation [/LIST] Electrical issues are a common source of a helicopter malfunction, including electrical shorts and electrical component malfunctions. When any component, or a combination of components, malfunction on a helicopter, the results can be tragic for those on board.
