Canada's Owner-flown Accident Record Worse Last Year
Business airplanes suffered eight accidents resulting in one fatality last year, versus just one accident and no fatalities in 2017.

Figures recently published by Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) reveal that business airplanes, defined as those flown primarily by their owners, suffered eight accidents that resulted in one fatality last year versus just one accident and no fatalities in 2017. Last year was also far above the annual average of three business airplane accidents between 2013 and 2017. Business helicopter accidents climbed from zero in 2017 to two last year, but were no accidents from 2013 to 2017.
