Pegasus Aviation Quantum 912
Single Piston
The Pegasus Quantum is a light sport aircraft manufactured by Pegasus Aviation, designed to meet the FAA's LSA category requirements with a maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds. Powered by a single Rotax 912 engine, the Quantum represents the accessible end of recreational aviation, offering simple operation and relatively low operating costs for private pilots. The aircraft's design emphasizes ease of handling and forgiving flight characteristics, with a stall speed in landing configuration around 35 knots and a never-exceed speed of 120 knots—typical performance for the light sport category. Its low approach speed and docile handling make it suitable for shorter runways and grass strips, appealing to recreational pilots seeking an economical entry into aircraft ownership. SkyMeter has tracked 5 flights across 1 airframes and 1 operators over routes, with MULLIN JEFFERY D 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.
