Although helicopters may give the impression of being accident-prone, they are in fact safe vehicles.
The actual data for the past 15 years shows that there have been zero fatal accidents on scenic and personnel transport flights conducted by helicopters by the operating companies.
There were also zero cases identified as serious incidents (situations in which there is a risk of an accident occurring).
Past rotary wing aircraft (helicopter) fatalities have shown the following characteristics
| Accident Rates | Once per 20,000 operating hours (established theory) | |
|---|---|---|
| Details | Operator | Purpose |
| Enterprise Operator: 50% | Advanced missions such as cargo transport, news reporting, etc. | |
| Self-Defense Forces, Polices: 30% | Difficult missions such as lifesaving and training in the mountains, etc. | |
| Individual: 20% | Flight decision making and maneuvering training under adverse weather conditions, etc. | |
The image of the accident has grown as a result of the media coverage of accidents that have occurred in the course of flying advanced missions under hazardous and unique conditions and in undertaking demanding missions such as lifesaving and training.
