Jeff Edwards,
You said: "The typical Lancair accident pilot is a private pilot with
less than 1000 hours total time and less than 300 hours in make and
model."
The facts show that the typical Lancair accident pilot has more than
1000 hours total time AND less than 300 hours in make and model.
Here are the facts from the NTSB accident database pertaining to
Lancair pilot experience. Please note that many of the fatal accident
reports did not give pilot hours and may affect the results of such a
small data set.
All reported accidents:
31 private
14 commercial
8 ATP
fatal accidents:
10 private
6 commercial
4 ATP
All reported accidents by pilot total time:
1000 hours = 24
<1000 hours = 20
(Looks like high total time pilots are having more of the accidents.)
1000 hour total time pilots by time in type:
300 hours in type = 3
<300 hours in type = 16
Fatal accidents by pilot total time:
1000 hours = 7
<1000 hours = 7
All reported accidents by pilot time in type:
300 hours = 6
<300 hours = 33
Fatal accidents by pilot time in type:
300 hours = 2
<300 hours = 9
