The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is inviting owners of flying Amateur-built ABAA and Experimental (ABE) aircraft to participate in a survey. This is the first time in Australia that a constructive effort has been made to gather data on this growing segment of general aviation. ABE aircraft have become an increasingly popular alternative to the purchase of traditional certified aeroplanes. The strong growth in this segment of general aviation deserves greater attention.
This survey was developed with the assistance of members of the ABE aircraft community, and we thank them for helping us to construct this simple but informative survey. In the coming months, the ATSB will collate the survey responses, and using other data held by the Bureau, build a picture of the health of ABE aircraft in Australia. We hope that you will take the time to participate in our survey by sharing your experiences with us.

The survey will take only about 10 minutes to complete. Please complete the survey online or download and print a copy and send it to us, free of charge, using a Reply Paid envelope. Survey closed.
