An automated data search of existing general aviation data bases was employed in an effort to relate aircraft stall/spin accident history to general design characteristics. The technique employed utilized a chi-square analysis to evaluate a 9-year stall/spin history of 36 selected aircraft. The statistical analysis indicated that: accident rates are influenced by aircraft usage; accident rates are influenced by pilot experience; low-horsepower low-stallspeed aircraft have a higher propensity to stall/spin accidents; the highest incidence of stall/spin accidents was in the takeoff phase of flight; and with the exception of one aircraft type, the chi-square analysis did not identify specific aircraft designs or design categorizations which would have a higher propensity for stall/spin accidents, with all other factors (i.e., pilot experience, aircraft usage) constant.
