Events are NTSB accidents and incidents matched to Globe GC-1B airframes by serial number or N-number; counts are approximate, because older events can't always be matched. The yearly rate divides NTSB events from 2016 to 2025 by the number of registered Globe GC-1B aircraft in each of those years. Not adjusted for hours flown: training aircraft fly far more than most.
