Experimental Aircraft Fatalities Continue Descent
Lowering fatal accidents in experimental-category aircraft is key to growing participation in aviation, EAA official said.

Fatal accidents in experimental-category aircraft fell 2 percent between the FAA’s Fiscal Year 2017 and 2018, the Experimental Aircraft Association said this week, continuing a four-year decline. In the fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2018, fatal accidents in the category totaled 44. FY 2018’s total also was nearly 14 percent lower than the FAA’s “not-to-exceed” threshold of 51 fatality accidents for the period, EAA said.
