Safety

Safety has always been our focus and we are proud of our safety record. This fact is demonstrated by:

• Over 4,000,000 flight hours on the main rotor system without catastrophic failure
• Fail-safe, belt-driven transmission on over 1,500 aircraft
• Energy-absorbing landing gear
• Heavy-duty design for passenger safety
• High-inertia rotor system benefits autorotation response time
• Unblocked tail rotor provides excellent control in high winds from any angle

In a comparison of single engine helicopters utilizing NTSB accident data from 1996-2010, both Enstrom’s piston and turbine models ranked as being the safest when scored for fewest fatal accidents per 100 registered aircraft in 2010.
