Aircraft Manufacturer: Beechcraft
Model: B200
About the Beechcraft B200
About half of all records ever held for the Beechcraft B200 have been deregistered. More than 300 B200 airframes have left the registry, while more than 200 remain active.
Within Beechcraft's range, the B200 sits at the 13th-largest active fleet by registration count. The type makes up about 2% of the manufacturer's active registered fleet.
On the safety record, the B200 logs about 2.2 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years across the type's FAA-registration exposure. Against a peer cohort of the same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range, the B200 records a higher accident rate than just over half of that group, where a higher percentile means a higher accident rate. 3 of 12 recorded B200 accidents were fatal.

Composition of NTSB accident records for this model in general-aviation operations (FAR Part 91 and 137), based on NTSB data as of May 1, 2026. It's a breakdown of recorded accidents rather than a safety rating, and types with significant non-GA operation (such as Part 135) may be under-represented.
Accidents are identity-confirmed against FAA registration records (two independent sources).

Aircraft-years of FAA registration exposure (2008–present).
Within its peer cohort
Within this model's peer class (same aircraft type, engine class, and seat range), comparison of its share of recorded NTSB accidents to its share of FAA registration exposure (aircraft-years since 2008).
This is a share comparison, not flight-hours adjusted, so a model flown more per airframe than its peers will show an accident share above its exposure share even if its per-hour safety is average. Methodology →
Accidents by year
Recorded NTSB general-aviation accidents per calendar year, derived directly from the NTSB accident database. Each bar shows the accidents that occurred in that year. Methodology →
Phase of flight
Which phase of flight each accident occurred in, as coded by the NTSB. Most accidents happen in the phases where most flying time is concentrated, so this isn't a measure of which phase is most dangerous.
Finding category
Top-level NTSB cause category, from the coded investigation findings. An accident often has more than one finding, so totals here can exceed the recorded accident count.
Injury severity
NTSB classification of the worst injury in each accident: None, Minor, Serious, or Fatal. Each accident counts in exactly one severity.
