Bryan,

Unfortunately, the 235, 320s and 360s comprise a large portion of the Lancair accident history. As many mentioned here recently, we need to all pull together on this subject. One interesting aspect to this is that I have heard that it is cheaper to insure an Eclipse than a Lancair IVP. Why might you ask? No serious or fatal losses.

One thing Eclipse does effectively is mentor new Eclipse pilots--many of who have never flown a jet before. Perhaps we might mentor new Lancair pilots, point them in the right direction, offer sage advice, etc. How do you prevent the accident after the pilot receives the training? Mentoring is one method. How do you encourage a new Lancair owner to get training in the first place? Mentoring might work. We all will work together on this--the factory, HPAT and LOBO.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays

Jeff
