Hi Ira,
In the UK I believe every little thing that happens gets put on the books.
Somebody always watching and all that. Over here we have some leeway and
you can call your kitbuilt whatever you want here like the IRAR2007 if you
wish. Hence it would not show up on a Europa data search. I've had two
propstrikes and one crash (not Europa) and nothing is on the records.

Subject: Europa-List: AAIB vs NTSB reports of Europa events
I just had the opportunity to search the AAIB site for Europa events and to
contrast the metadata with the NTSB data I am familiar with. By metadata, I
am referring the size and rough outlines of the data, not specific content.
As of today, there are 216 accidents in the UK data and 5 in the US. I know
the Europa has been in the UK longer by 4 or 5 years out of perhaps 12 and
there are approximately double the number of AC in the UK. Those facts
alone seem inadequate to explain the 40:1 accident ratio.
Is the AAIB far more sensitive to inclusion in events? There are quite a
few prop strikes and ground loops, but these would be included in the NTSB
if any damage occurred.
Does anyone have an explaination or hypothesis?
