On the other hand whilst the C152 shows 1 such fatal in that period, the C150 shows 10. Since in the UK the CAA helpfully retains a record of the hours flown by everything, we can standardise that by flying hours. This shows that whilst remaining generally very safe, the C150 is about 16 times more likely to suffer such an accident than the C152. The bulk of these fatal accidents appear to occur during the climb-out or go-around.
Statistics are great, but subject to what data has been collected. C152 1 Fatal - 16 C150. How many accidents or are we just talking about fatal accidents.
C150's are not generally used for training/schools now days where 152's are so the 152 is probably being flown with an experienced instructor on board for most of the flying hours they are in the air. Perhaps we should be looking at the statistics as to how current the pilot involved in the accident was?
Eg 152 training school, licenced airfield, CPL PIC. C150 Private owner, only 1 hour in the past 60 days (winter) into a private strip. See my pont?
All I am trying to say - by experience - statistics can give different results.
Depending on which model 150 yoy are talking about there is little difference except 40 vs 30 degrees and Lycoming O-235 vs Continental O-200 engines.
The model FRA150L - the R is for Rolls Royce Cont.O-240. Has a 130 hp engine fitted.
