Jeff,
Thanks for sharing those stats. It really helps us to focus on where improvement is needed. As a comparison, I looked up some RV accident stats. I found a spreadsheet compiled by Mel Jordan covering 3/83 through 7/99. There were 151 accidents, approx. 1/3 were fatalities. In his summary, he states, "Notable were the number of accident related to engine failure in RV-4 and RV-6 aircraft. This will take more study to determine if any pattern may emerge. We all know fuel management can be a problem, and the statistics confirm that." Sounds familiar. His report is posted at http://home.hiwaay.net/~sbuc/journal/statistics.html.

Lancairians,
Lee Metcalf sent me an updated list he compiled through mid 2008. I am passing it on with his permission.
