Plane and Pilot magazine, May 2009 issue, has a very interesting
article reporting on LSA crashes and the insurance industry's
perspective on the subject. The author reported on Mike Adams'
(Avemco's V.P. of underwriting) presentation at Sebring. There are some
interesting comments including the fact that Europe has not experienced
as many LSA accidents as in the U.S. because they have a lot more
micro-light experience than we do. Also, many LSA accidents involve
very experienced pilots with not enough transition training going from
G.A. airplanes that are very forgiving to lighter, more responsive,
LSA's. I transitioned from spam cans to my Zodiac XL by getting 6
hours of instructor supervised flight experience before I finished
building. Anyone not yet finished building should get some supervised
hours in a Zodiac before they finish building and start Phase I. I wish
everyone safe flying.
