Aircraft Manufacturer: Boeing

Model: A75N1(PT17)

About the Boeing A75N1(PT17)

The A75N1/PT17 is the most-registered model in Boeing's lineup by active fleet size, with more than 700 airframes still on the U.S. civil registry. That active fleet accounts for about 12% of Boeing's total active registered fleet.

Of all U.S. registry records ever held for the model, about half remain registered today, while more than 600 airframes have been deregistered.

The model's safety record covers 47 recorded accidents, of which 2 were fatal. Measured over the type's own FAA-registration exposure, that history works out to about 2.9 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years.

Safety Analysis

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.

Comparison

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 →

Investigations take 12–36 months to finalise, so the trailing years come in incomplete. Recent years are adjusted upward for that lag. Observed counts show as solid bars, the lag-adjusted estimate shows hatched.
