About the Cubcrafters Inc CC11-160

The CubCrafters CC11-160 has 24 recorded accidents, and none of them involved a fatality. Set against the type's own FAA-registration exposure, that record works out to about 6 accidents per 1,000 aircraft-years. Measured against a peer cohort of same-type, engine-class, and seat-range aircraft, the CC11-160 sits at about two-thirds of that cohort on the safety percentile, where higher means a higher accident rate. Read in plain terms, that placement puts the CC11-160 above roughly two-thirds of those comparable types on accident rate.

About 90% of every CC11-160 ever entered on the U.S. civil registry is still registered today. Its active registered fleet runs to more than 300 aircraft.

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.

Identity Confirmed

Accidents are identity-confirmed against FAA registration records (two independent sources).

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 →
