Why pick on turboprops? Considering the amount of hours they fly and have flown you would expect more accidents. Also consider that these aircraft usually fly on short routes, often with up to 8-10 sectors into small, usually un-aided strips. I've flown Metro's for a year, almost 700hrs on them and I've only ever had 1 breakdown. I think in the end it comes down to the quality of maintenance and the deligence and abilities of the pilot. How many jets do you know that fly into these areas, put these pilots into my favorite 7 sector, 6 hrs flight time, 45 + degree day throughout QLD and see how they feel at the end.....buggered I bet. Give us a break !
