It's hard to believe that
most pilots don't use it at all, flight following...I can't figure that one
out...It's free and keeps you up to date and watches out for you...In southern
California it would be nuts not to use it with all the traffic here

Ron,
That gives an interesting picture, but you should
remember that you must
either file IFR or request flight following to show
up on flight aware. I
don’t think many experimental pilots do
that. I would probably estimate
that at any given time that 90%+ of
the experimental planes aloft will not
show up.

Certified vs Experimental Flight Hours
Hmmm, You might want to check
FlightAware's website from time to time
and see how many experimentals are
in the system at any given time. I
find only 2 Glassairs and one Lancair at
the moment. There are a bunch
of certifieds (62 Cirrus's and 51 SkyHawks,
etc.).
