Chaser Aircraft Chaser 75
Single Piston
The Chaser 75 is a single-seat, single-engine aerobatic taildragger designed and manufactured by Chaser Aircraft in the United States. Introduced in the early 2000s as a Light Sport Aircraft, the CH75 occupies a niche in the sport aviation market as an affordable, nimble platform for recreational flying and basic aerobatics. Built around a welded steel tube fuselage with fabric covering and powered by a Rotax 912-series engine producing around 80 horsepower, the Chaser 75 emphasizes simplicity, low operating costs, and spirited handling characteristics. Its light empty weight of approximately 600 pounds and maximum takeoff weight of 1,650 pounds place it squarely in the LSA category, making it accessible to pilots holding a sport pilot certificate. The aircraft's aerobatic capability sets it apart from many LSA designs, which are typically limited to normal category operations. The CH75 is stressed for positive and negative G-loads, allowing loops, rolls, and other basic maneuvers within its approved envelope. Its relatively low stall speed of 39 knots in landing configuration and never-exceed speed of 135 knots define a forgiving flight envelope suitable for pilots building tailwheel and aerobatic experience. The tandem seating arrangement (single-seat in most configurations) and conventional gear demand active pilot technique, particularly during takeoff and landing, rewarding stick-and-rudder proficiency. SkyMeter has tracked 111 flights across 46 airframes and 46 operators, with SALE REPORTED the largest observed operator.
Safety in context
The incident rate counts flights with ANY safety event detected by SkyMeter — go-arounds (a routine response, not a failure), unstable-approach gate flags (advisory thresholds), rejected takeoffs (the system working as designed), and runway events. It is NOT an accident rate or fatality rate. For accident statistics, refer to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database (USA) or the Aviation Safety Network. See methodology for what each event type measures.
