2004 Homebuilt Statistics
Just downloaded the 9 Jan 2005 FAA Registration Database.
As of 9 January, there were 27,614 Experimental/Amateur-Built aircraft registered in the US. This was an increase of 3.8% over the previous year. Here's a summary of the past four years: Year Increase over previous year 2001 5.5% 2002 4.6% 2003 3.4% 2004 3.8% So 2004 was a bit of a bump upwards, but not by much. However, the percentage of homebuilts vs the overall fleet is still rising: Year Percentage of total aircraft registered 2000 7.5% 2001 7.7% 2002 8.0% 2003 8.2% 2004 8.5% Going to back to the changes between January 2004 and January 2005: A total of 1,453 Exp/Am airplanes were added to the roster since January 2004, and 432 were removed, leaving a net increase of 1021. Of the 1021 net homebuilts added to the rolls in 2004, almost 40% (445 added, 44 removed) were RVs! New registrations of common aircraft during 2004: RV: 445 Challenger II: 30 Glasair: 19 GlaStar: 15 Rotorway Exec: 36 Kitfox: 34 Lancair: 52 RAF: 14 RANS: 47 Searay: 21 Sonex: 21 Zenair: 61 (Figures are approximate due to naming inconsistencies) Ron Wanttaja |
