It would be interesting to see this normalised by landing cycles given that the takeoff & landing are perceived at least within light aviation to be highest risk portions of a flight.

I’m a bit sketched out when flying on a turboprop plane like an ATR 72 but feel more at ease on an A320 family plane, because they will most likely be landing at a bigger airport with better emergency facilities and to a less remote area.
