Insurance companies raising rates on the Lancair line-up because of a high number of accidents shouldn't be allowed unless all the accidents or majority of them can be blamed on the actual aircraft and not the pilot.
And the FAA putting pressure on Lancair to do something about it is another F'd up concept. Its not Lancair's problem what people do with their product after its been released to the client. They are providing a High performance kit aircraft that anyone can build. Making them police all the pilots who fly them is just another case of the FAA putting all their responsibilities onto someone else. If the FAA wants people to stop crashing Lancairs then they should figure out a resolution themselves.
Car insurance companies dont raise the rates on Honda Civics or Acura Integras because all the street racers use them illegally and crash them more often than other cars.
The DOT doesn't go to Yamaha and put pressure on them to make their streetbikes safer and required mandatory training to ride it.
Just venting.
