Introduction

Account for every flight test including and before W24 where we have clear logs for every flight test.
How often did we crash?
What are the most common causes?
We need to be learning from crashes so this document will hopefully tell us what we should focus on.
Every time someone asks me what these stats are I always do my best to guess, but I want a solid answer.
This analysis will need to be redone in the future as we do more flight tests!
