I couldn't imagine that light aircraft are as safe as a 747
and ultralights got to be somewhat less than that.


Is a 747 "safer" than a J-3, or is it FLOWN more safely?

There's very little to go wrong in a J-3, and not much more in a
Cherokee or Cessna 172. In an emergency, they can be landed almost
anywhere. The accident reports show pretty clearly, I think, that GA
aircraft accidents are the fault of the pilot, not the airplane.

I suspect the same is true of ultralights.
