Fatal Accidents • Standard Aircraft 2.0 / 100,000 Hrs.• Amateur built Aircraft 4.2 / 100,000 Hrs.
• Private pilots or higher are more than twice as likely to crash LSAs then LSA pilots
• First 50 hours of flight in Experimental/Amateur Built Aircraft are particularly hazardous– Transition Training can make this period much safer.
