Are you sure? Where did you acquire this information?
Life and the fact that the FAA acknowledges the fact that there are a lot
of registered but not flying, or even existing, aircraft.
Simple observation at any GA airport.
How do you determine the flying history and age of an aircraft by simple
observation?
If you had ever been to a GA airport, you wouldn't ask such a stupid
question.
By comparing comperable age aircraft, the likelyhood is that the non-flying
fractions are both smaller and more likely equal.
How do you know that?
It is obvious.
Because they are old, because the owners are likely old and have stopped
flying.
How do you know this?
Simple observation at any GA airport.
Why?
Because comparing Cirrus with Diamond would make it harder to manipulate the
numbers to conceal any higher accident rate with Cirrus.
Babbling nonsense.
Both of your "comparisons" are bogus from the start.
It has been well documented that the faster and more complex an aircraft is,
the higher the accident rate.
Comparing Cirrus to a C172 or anything Diamond makes is nonsense as the
Cirrus is a fast, complex airplane.
