Events are NTSB accidents and incidents matched to Cessna 175A airframes by serial number or N-number; counts are approximate, because older events can't always be matched. The yearly rate divides NTSB events from 2016 to 2025 by the number of registered Cessna 175A aircraft in each of those years. Not adjusted for hours flown: training aircraft fly far more than most.

Buyer checklist

1 AD published since 1998 may apply to the Cessna 175A; recurring ADs need to be checked at each inspection. 40 NTSB events since 1982 involve Cessna 175A airframes; from 2016 to 2025, about 3.2 a year per 1,000 registered aircraft.
