    Most of them are General Aviation (GA) accidents. Those are smaller private planes.

    According to the 2019 US data (NTSB), Part 121 (Commercial Jets) accounted for 2 fatal accidents, Part 135 (Rental/Private jet) accounted for 13 fatal accidents, and GA accounted for 233 fatal accidents.

    This results in a fatal accident split of 0.8% for Commercial, 5% for Private, and 94% GA.
