Ok Rick...ya got me on that one....;)

Here are the numbers of hours the Lancair accident pilots had in make and model at the time of their accident as of July 25, 2008:

146 total Lancair reported accidents

108 accident pilots with reported time in type on NTSB report

15 accident pilots 0-10 hours time in type Lancair --(many on their first or second flight)
16 pilots 11-25 hours
13 pilots  26-50 hours
19 piltots 51-100 hours
19 pilots  101-200 hours
7   pilots 201-300 hours
12 pilots 301-500 hours
7 pilots   501-1000 hours
0 pilots > 1000 hours in type Lancair

of the 108 reorted Lancair accident pilots 40.7% had less than 51 hours time in type; 75.9% had less than 201 hours time in type.
if you have more than 1000 hours time in type-- keep on doing what you are doing.....

Jeff Edwards
