Let's not take the 1/6 at face value

There are 55 MT-03 registrations and 4 destroyed. So that's less than a 1/12th. What does that actually tell you anyway unless you have the detail? Not much. One was destroyed last year in a very sad accident where the pilot had a heart attack.

These things are complicated and it is just unhelpful to have people claiming kit is unsafe or there's poor training when they don't have the facts.

If you are in the LAA and read the magazine (especially Malcolm's very readable safety spot) you will know that they are all over any kind of pattern be it mechanical or operational.
