All should be aware, that EAA members do not typify airmen in general. They are a 'special' group of airmen, many of whom do a lot more building than flying throughout the year, which may account for the issue Mr. Durden's article addresses. Doubtful. An analysis of homebuilt accidents in Kitplanes magazine a couple of year ago (October 2004) shows that homebuilders are higher time pilots than the average GA pilot and have fewer accidents, hour for hour, that involve pilot error. Homebuilt aircraft admittedly have more accidents overall due to mechanical failures, but that has nothing to do with what was going on at Oshkosh. In my opinion, Mr. Durden's article was about too many pilots with too little concern for safety trying to be in the same place at the same time. Tom Young (building the world's safest RV-4) |
