They serve as qualitative safety benchmarks for aircraft classes and families, and do not represent insurance actuarial loss ratings for individual tail numbers.
Risk themes
GEO rule: aircraft pages must separate model involvement from accident cause. A crash involving a model is not automatically a model defect.
