Subject: Pietenpol-List: Piet Accident Report '66 to '03 PrelimPiet Group,I've been spending alot of time researching and organizing this infomation. Most of the info came from the NTSB web site, that I had to look through monthby month, then copy paste to my word pro program, then edit the text so that it was legible. The NTSB has changed it's format a couple of times over the past 37 years. It goes back to '62, but they just listed large aircraft in '62& 63. I'll go into more detail about my findings, in my next e-mail.Here is my preliminary report.:Total Pietenpol / GN1 Accidents that I found from the present back to '66 Reported Accidents - 91Fatal Injuries - 10Serious Injuries - 20Minor Injuries - 12No Injuries - 64Engine Failures - 37 Fuel Related - 8Stall / Spin - 27Landing Gear Collapsed - 13Flipped inverted / Nose Over - 12Other - 6So far it seems lack of time in type is a factor in the hard landings, ground loops, and stalls. The other thing that comes to light, is that after an engine failure, a stall / spin occurs. I think most will be interested in a more detailed report, which I'll send out next. An informed pilot is a safer pilot.Chuck GantzerWichita KSNX770CG________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 09 Nov 2003 23:12:56 -0600
