John,
Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the situation re. privileges in the
UK, and should have explained my approach more fully:
I am not looking for statistics on actual accidenst at night or in IMC.
The aircraft, its engine, systems and structure does not experience any
difference between such operation and day VFR (icing excluded, but flight
into icing conditions would be excluded also in IMC in our case).
Therefore, day VFR statistics will serve my purpose, which is to assess the
risk of an engine/systems/structural failure not attributable to poor
building/maintenance/pre-flight inspection/pilot error/etc.
I asked EAA USA (of which I am a paying member) two weeks ago about this
kind of homebuilt aircraft statistics, but have so far not received any
reply. Meantime, I have found US statistics and information of interest
through other sources, although not specific for Europa or Rotax 912ULS.
The requested information about UK Europa numbers/flight hours is to show
that there are many aircraft/much use, which of course makes using
historical accident figures more relevant than if there were no accidents
among only, say, two aircraft (just to illustrate this point).
Regards,
Svein
