Experimental v. Certified Accident Statistics


Recommended Posts

The EAA recently hosted a webinar comparing Experimental/Amateur-Built ("EAB") and Certified aircraft accident statistics.  Very timely given our ongoing insurance rate struggles and discussion.  Very data-centric for folks who love to nerd out!  Short version is that the EAB rate is only slightly higher when you do an apples-to-apples comparison, and EAB pilots are generally far more experienced--consistent with most folks buying VL3s in the U.S. so far, or at least those participating here.

EAA members can access a recording of the webinar here:

The presenter also made his slides available as a downloadable PDF, which I've attached here.  His name and e-mail address are on the first and last slides.
