McCoy Aircraft Corporation Mccoy Coyote Ii

Single Piston

The McCoy Coyote II is a rare single-engine experimental aircraft built by McCoy Aircraft Corporation, representing a niche segment of American homebuilt aviation. Designed for sport flying and personal transportation, the Coyote II exemplifies the experimental aircraft movement that allows builders and pilots to operate aircraft outside traditional type-certification constraints. With a maximum takeoff weight under 1,700 pounds, the Coyote II falls into the light sport category, offering modest performance suitable for recreational flying and short cross-country trips. Its single piston engine and straightforward design make it accessible to owner-builders while maintaining reasonable operating costs. The type remains extremely uncommon in the general aviation fleet, with only a handful of examples believed to be flying. SkyMeter has tracked 3 flights across 1 airframes and 1 operators, with FAULKNER WINTHROP S 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.
