"The single most common cause of a GA en route fatal accident is weather, the pilot, or his airplane simply couldn't handle. E-AB aircraft are underrepresented in fatal weather accidents. The obvious guess is that E-AB fly more locally than pilots of standard airplanes."
While it does not seem to be a big deal, it does come across as having EAA say..well, if experimental aircraft show themselves to be safer in any way then we are of the opinion that it must be a mistake or some other reason rather than something positive. Positive things would be stuff like more experienced pilots in EA-B or better equipment. Wouldn't it be nice if the case could be made that the state of the art equipment in many experimentals is making aviation safer and maybe it would behoove us to allow that same equipment into older certifieds without the huge time and expense of current compliance?
