The only meaningfull way to compare statistics between aircraft is accidents per 100,000 flying hours and even this does not account for operational differences like short haul vs long haul, operations at 2nd or third tier airports etc.
Given that most accidents occur on take-off, approach or landing, and relatively few in the cruise, is not accidents per sector a more useful statistic for type/operator/regime comparison than accidents per hour?
