[@silaskuemmerle2505]

Would be a surprise

[@danthevanman294]

It is not an "experimental" aircraft. It is a kit aircraft you build yourself. They started making these in 1979.

If it is this dangerous it should be regulated against imo. I would like to see an official study on the type of aircraft and its safety.

[@amp888]

If you look up NTSB reports on previous incidents involving this type, you can see they're referred to as "experimental" there. For example, the prelim report for accident WPR23LA340 begins "On September 5, 2023, about 1620 Pacific daylight time, a Rutan Long-EZ experimental airplane, N58JB, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Bullhead City, Arizona."

@@ElissaBlankenship. Thanks for your comment, Elissa. Out of curiosity, how does your Associates in communications and dog training experience qualifying to analyze aircraft safety?

[@silaskuemmerle2505]

​@@ElissaBlankenship.They're as safe as any other small aircraft, 99 times out of 100 these incidents come down to human error whether it's pilot error or a maintenance error.

[@AwDaleYeah]

Homebuilts are almost always classified as experimental. I’m not exactly sure what you mean or where you get your info.
