Stat Breakdown

Not sure if the greater no of accidents in the higher hours grouping does reflect the sum of all those hours Nick.

Perhaps I am missing the point, but the AOPA report would appear to be a simple snapshot of accidents over a given period broken down by TT of the pilot. AOPA make the point that in the population involved (GA fixed wing in the US), the number of hours flown is highest and may not reflect inexperience but simply increased exposure.

Seen in this light, the high timer peak (in this population) might suggest the highest risk group of all. But perhaps that was the point you were making.

Whatever is generally held to be true, these stats don't appear to support it
