MU-2
Anyone have or fly an MU-2 in here. I have flown one in the right seat
for about 10 hours. I hear that they have a bad accident rate. But I would say thats because you get some of them hot shot pilots that think they can fly anything and go out and crash them. But then there are people that have tons of hours in them and crash them. Does anyone have any info on them. I love the thing. If I had a extra 300-1 million that would be turobprop I would buy. Any info would help. *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today. |

I own a Marquise and have about 1100hrs in it. The accident rate is
actually about the same as other, similiar turboprops. This was not always the case, MU-2s used to have a much higher accident rate before the insurance industry tightened up requirements particularly with respect to recurrent training. If you look at the NTSB database you will see no particular pattern and that most MU-2 accidents are a result of boneheaded decisions by pilots. A few are caused by maintenance errors but I have yet to see one where the design or construction of the airplane was the cause. This is probably true for all airplanes though.
