Unfortunately, There Were Seven Fatal Experimental Category Accidents Last Month
November’s uptick in experimental category aircraft accidents is another reminder that aviation safety is a journey, not a destination. There were seven fatal experimental category accidents last month, well above the two projected as part of the FAA’s not-to-exceed figure for the month. It also put the yearly tally, just two months into the new federal fiscal year, above the FAA not-to-exceed tracking for the year. Early indications show that this increase mirrors a parallel increase in general aviation accidents overall in November.
