BELL 214 accident history and safety score
BELL 214 appears in 4 current candidate incident rows extracted from Track Plane Crash source snapshots. This generated profile is source-discovery first and awaits deeper authority enrichment.
Diagnostic Safety & Security Metrics
Occupant Survivability Rate
Percentage of cabin occupants surviving indexed crash incidents.
51%
Class average: 60%
Weather Resilience
Tolerance to crosswinds, turbulence, and structural icing thresholds.
5.8/10
Class average: 5.8/10
Mechanical Integrity
Structural robustness, system MTBF, and power plant reliability indicators.
8/10
Class average: 8/10
Operational Control Demand
Pilot experience and workload sensitivity (higher indicates more demanding flight handling).
8.5/10
Class average: 7.2/10
Flight System Redundancy
Multi-engine safety margins, backup avionics, and flight envelope protection.
7.5/10
Class average: 4/10
Safety Signature Radar
Actuarial Insurance Underwriting Calculator
Adjust flight parameters dynamically to calculate the custom hull liability safety index for a **BELL 214** (helicopter class).
Calculated Policy Score
76
Regular coverage parameters. Baseline rates apply with standard pilot warranties.
• Day Visual Flight Rules operations maximize survivability margins.
How We Calculate
These diagnostic indicators are compiled by Track Plane Crash analysts using historical incident data, manufacturer specifications, NTSB/FAA investigation materials, and fleet class coefficients.
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.
