Using the NTSB database there have been 61 Lancair accidents since
1/1/2001.
Searching from 1990 forward, there were 105 Lancair accidents (43
fatal). While the following breakdowns don't quite add up (101 vs
105), they are useful:
Lancair IV................9
Lancair IVP............18
Lancair IVPT............3
Lancair Legacy........6
Lancair 320............22
Lancair 360............20
Lancair 235............20
Lancair 200..............1
Lancair ES..............2
----------------------------------------
total.....................101
105/1052 = 10% (fatals added to total Lancairs since the registration
was probably removed)
43/1052 = 4.1% of the accidents were fatal
Now, ignoring the fatals loss of registration and unaccounted for
registrations, the percentages are inflated:
...IV 9/79 = 11.4%
IVP 18/207 = 8.7%
IVPT 3/16 = 18.8%
LEG 6/118 = 5.1%
..ES 2/58 = 3.4%
L320 22/212 = 10.4%
L360 20/123 = 16.3%
L235 20/99 = 20.2%
L200 1/6 = 16.7%
