Cessna U206G
Aircraft Manufacturer: Cessna
Model: U206G
About the Cessna U206G
Across the U.S. civil registry, the Cessna U206G records about 3 GA accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years over its FAA-registration exposure. Within a cohort of the same type, engine class, and seat range, its safety percentile sits at about a quarter, where a higher percentile means a higher accident rate. At about a quarter, the Cessna U206G's accident rate runs below most comparable types in that cohort. Of the 23 recorded accidents, 7 were fatal.
The Cessna U206G ranks 70th by active fleet size within Cessna's lineup, and more than 300 of them remain on the U.S. civil registry. The model accounts for about 0.5% of Cessna's total active registered fleet. About three-quarters of all U.S. registry records ever held for the U206G have been deregistered.

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).
23 exact, 0 recovered, 0 provisional
MethodologyTotal recorded general-aviation accidents within the analyzed period.

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.
