 Hi All,
 I just found out about this very important survey regarding 
 homebuilt aircraft. The FAA is concerned that the accident rate 
 for homebuilts is double that of manufactured aircraft (12 
 accidents per 100K hours w/MFR vs 25 accidents per 100K hours for 
 homebuilts). This was reported in USA Today 8/29/11 which is how 
 I found out about the survey. The article stated that the FAA is 
 looking into placing more restrictions on the homebuilt community 
 and the EAA convinced them to look at this survey before making 
 any new rules.
 Here is the link: http://www.eaa.org/news/2011/2011-08-18_survey.asp
 Time is now the issue.

     Hmmmm . . .  I'm wondering what the root causes
     were for the accidents and why anyone is led
     to believe that the "homebuilt" nature of the
     airplane is causation for the difference.
 
     I note further that questionair's interest
     in "modifications" did not touch on electrical
     systems. I also wonder where the accident study
     gets their numbers for total hours flown for
     the two classes of aircraft.
 
     Aside from entering recent experience numbers
     on a medical every two years, I don't recall
     that anyone asked me or tracked my flight
     hours . . . much less what kind of airplane
     I flew.
 
     Color me skeptical . . . like all agencies
     of government, this has the look and smell
     of expansion of organization at the expense
     of an individual liberty to assess and accept/
     reject certain risks.
 
     Exactly what is entered on this survey will
     have little or no effect on outcome. As one
     wise observer once suggested, "85% of all
     statistics are made up on the spot."  I
     fear that this is but another cloud of
     floobydust kicked up to distract from the
     real agenda.

				I think it's pretty well studied and accepted that aircraft in the Experimental category do suffer a much higher accident rate than certificated aircraft. 
 
 The cause of those increased accident rates is still being debated though. I see no hidden agenda on the part of the FAA to usurp more power or curtail the OBAM movement, unless we continue to ignore the problem.  Fortunately, we are not ignoring it. Ron Wanttaja recently wrote a number of high-quality articles for Kitplanes magazine investigating many aspects of this problem--if you're a subscriber, look for the "Safety Is No Accident" title.  This is actively being investigated by the EAA/FAA and interested parties.  
   
 As for the survey, the FAA is probably simply trying to get better data. I started the survey but quit because it's really for those already flying experimental aircraft, and I'm not (still building).
 
  The reality is if the homebuilt community does not take action to reduce the accident rate, the FAA will take action. A single aircraft accident--not even fatal--always generates front page news in our local newspapers, and that's probably true for most reading this. The non-flying public doesn't like dangerous homebuilt airplanes and their rich, reckless pilots falling out of the skies and killing unsuspecting citizens. That's how it gets portrayed to Congress, who in turn tell the FAA to fix it, now.  Better we fix it ourselves.

 derived from the NTSB data.

				Part of the issue with accident "rates" is that they are usually divided by hours flown.  After all, the number of accidents doesn't mean anything without some sort of context. Imagine two cases, one where 5 airplanes crash in a year, and the airplanes in that group flew 5000 hours.  The following year, 6 crash, but the group flew 7000 hours.  The number of accidents rose, but the accident rate per hour flown decreased. 
 
 EAB aircraft are becoming more numerous, so the increase in accident occurrences may or may not actually be leading to a higher accident rate. Since the FAA has no idea how many hours we fly experimental airplanes (or most other light GA airplanes by that matter), they make a guess and hope for the best.  Since the number of hours flown is the denominator of most of these rates, then an increase in hours will decrease the accident rate.  The opposite is also true of course.  A good survey could make that guess more accurate, which will therefore improve the accuracy of the rates.  If they are underestimating our hours, then the rates will improve even if the total number of accidents per year does not decrease.  I don't know if this survey will serve that purpose, since I haven't taken it.  I'm also not flying an experimental airplane currently.

  I just found out about this very important survey regarding homebuilt

  is double that of manufactured aircraft (12 accidents per 100K hours

  reported in USA Today 8/29/11 which is how I found out about the

				Harley...don't get excited. I also note that you have posted these..."run in circles, scream and shout" viral notices on this website previously.
 
 This sounds to me like a hoax or at least a waste of time. The FAA has all the tools needed to get any information without anyone here getting excited.

				Morning, Eric...
          
          Harley...don't get excited. 
          
        I never get excited...   
        
          I also note that you have posted these..."run in circles, scream         and shout" viral notices on this website previously.         
          
          I have?          I don't recall any ...unless you are talking about my telling         people to stay away from a couple of links that AVG marked as         having viruses. I know for a fact that many here don't update         their anti-virus software or even don't have any.  I often         receive emails after posting warnings like that thanking me for         pointing it out to them and stating that they just updated their         anti-virus software.  Just         trying to help. 
          
          This sounds to me like a hoax or at least a waste of time. 
          
        I'm not sure it's a waste of time...the         FAA is planning a number of new fees and restrictions to GA         pilots, and anything that anyone can do to let them know that         they are barking up the wrong tree and that there are other ways         to save money is good in my opinion.  And the EAA is the only         power we have. Tim LaDolce over in the canard aviators forum         sent me that (he also posted it in the forum)...so I posted it         here and on a couple of other aviation forums as well.  
        
          The FAA has all the tools needed to get any information without         anyone here getting excited.         
          
        Tools they continually change with         little regard for us guys...
        
          Hey, here's a good photo of Bob Nuckolls attached.         
          
        Why is he lying down (the photo was         rotated, in case you missed it)?

    Probably taken Sunday after a two day, 12-hour
    stand up presentation. Eric and I met at a weekend
    seminar about 6 years ago in Plymouth, MA.
 
    That was a weekend to remember! Missed connections
    going out. Arrived at motel after midnight. Slipped
    in shower and busted my butt. Delivered the presentation
    with a big bruise on my buns. Had a flight
    cancelled on the way back and got to spend the
    night in Detroit. Dropped a bag in the motel
    parking lot and broke two bottles of wire. AC
    in room didn't work so we played musical rooms
    until finding one suitable for getting some
    sleep about midnight. Had to be up at o-dark
    thirty to catch plane for Wichita.
 
    I wonder what I looked like when I got home!

				Eric,
 The FAA may have all the tools need to do a lot of things, but they are government sloths that can't figure anything out.  They have to hire people to actually do something.  The problem is that they won't hire anyone.  Instead, they will just simply ram rod new regulations without regard to the GA community and without doing their real homework.  If anybody has any problems with it, it's after the fact.
 Here's an example of government inefficiency and ineptness. Remember the Casey Anthony trial down in Orlando?  Well, she was found not guilty, because the jury decided there simply wasn't enough evidence to find her guilty.  In other words, the prosecution should have never gone to trial.   They were hoping to snooker the jury into making an emotional decision.  After they lost, they were on TV congratulating each other for a great job done.  What great job?  They lost!  In the commercial world, they would have be considered flunkies!  Now the lead prosecutor is writing a book!  I bet you he won't mention his ineptness!  The FAA guys are the same way.

				Henador,
  
 Actually the FAA is trying to pick up the pieces and repair the damage from the criminally incompetent private sector. The homebuilders have all the tools they need to get the accident rate down, but being a bunch of private crooks they won’t do it.  The government has to step in to actually fix it. Instead of cooperating, the private sector just stonewalls and denies.
  
 Here are some examples of private criminality and incompetence. Remember the Enron scandal in Texas, the Wall Street derivative trading, the owner-verified housing loans, the huge BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico they couldn’t stop for months?  Well, if that happened in government they wouldn’t get a promotion anymore. But in private, they get trillion-dollar bailouts, and $100 million bonuses!  Who needs to write a book with a bonus like that, huh?

    Let's give this one a rest folks. If you have
    specifics to discuss about FAA actions with
    respect to OBAM aviation, fine. But the
    sand and mud balls are being gathered up from
    far afield and have no direct bearing on helping
    folks on the List deal with a relevant bureaucracy
     . . . or build airplanes.
 
    Thanks!

				Unless you happen to live in Somalia, Government is here to stay. So the OBAM community has two choices: engage the regulator to its best advantage, or ignore it and reap the consequences.
 
 It's not unreasonable for the regulator to seek more data to help it formulate policy. It's gonna make policies whether you like it or not, and the OBAM side is gonna come into it, whether it likes it or not too. There's no need to sell your soul in the process, but at least you can help steer it in the direction you want.
