Estimates by state and region may vary from previous years. State of registration is assigned if state primarily flown was not answered or cannot be coded.Experimental light-sport includes aircraft with experimental airworthiness certification and light-sport aircraft for which airworthiness certificates are not final. *Estimates are suppressed when there are too few survey observations to support reliable estimates. The activity is included in the total estimate for all aircraft.
