Thorough Airframe-Specific Transition Training Conducted by a Qualified Flight Instructor is Essential to Flight Safety. The fatal accident rate for Experimental/Amateur-built aircraft is more than twice the rate for traditionally manufactured aircraft. Some General aviation accidents are associated with inadequate pilot performance do to inadequate or no transition training in the accident aircraft Transition training is essential to flight safety in ALL aircraft, but especially when transitioning into Experimental Amateur-built and Light Sport aircraft. Transition training is often required when transitioning to modified aircraft particularly when modifications alter flight characteristics. Because amateur-built aircraft flight characteristics, aircraft controls and instrument placement can vary significantly from one builder to another, airframe-specific transition training is often recommended. Even transitioning from on production aircraft to another (e.g., Cessna 172 to Grumman Tiger) requires training specific to the differences between the types. Transition training instructors must be thoroughly familiar with each airframe in which they give instruction. An excellent source for identifying such instructors is the type club for that aircraft.
