Vixen Aircraft Vixen Td

Single Piston

The Vixen TD is an American light sport aircraft designed and manufactured by Vixen Aircraft of Zephyrhills, Florida. Built as a conventional gear (taildragger) configuration, the Vixen represents a modern take on classic bush plane design, optimized for short-field operations and backcountry flying within the FAA's Light Sport Aircraft category. The aircraft features a high-wing design with exceptional visibility, robust landing gear for unprepared surfaces, and docile handling characteristics that make it accessible to sport pilots while maintaining the performance envelope needed for serious recreational and utility flying. Certificated under the LSA rules, the Vixen is limited to a maximum gross weight of 1,320 pounds and complies with the category's 120-knot top speed restriction. Its low stall speed of 35 knots in landing configuration and short takeoff roll make it well-suited for operations from grass strips, sandbars, and remote airfields where larger aircraft cannot venture. The design emphasizes simplicity and maintainability, with straightforward systems that owners can service under the LSA maintenance privileges. SkyMeter has tracked 1 flights across 1 airframes and 1 operators, with NIBBELINK WILLIAM G 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.
