Quite amusing, but also an interesting report to quickly scan. Local copy
Also “TRIN” covers the TB9,10,200,20,21. Very different aircraft performances, which beggars belief how their perf models can be useful in any meaningful way e.g. for verifying the climb-to-altitude times.
The most popular piston aircraft for IFR is the DA42 with 0.31% of the traffic (30233 flights in 2012).
That must be mostly the FTO flights. Where I am based they are up there all day.
You clearly see that this data is maintained in France. They use the French made TRIN for a number of other aircraft:
One problem this approach has is that they pack together a number of rather different aircraft. The TB20 and TB21 are very different in the higher flight levels. I have received the detailed performance data for my aircraft C82R and it is a mix of both the normally aspirated 182RG and the turbo TR182. Their numbers match neither 
From my reading of it, the TB-10 Tobago (TOBA) and TB-9 Tampico (TAMP) are treated separately.

The TB-10 Tobago is a C172 and for the TB-9 Tampico there is no performance model at all.
Achimha,
The Robin HR100/200 is the fixed gear HR100 with a 200hp Lyc engine – it was made before the HR100/210 which has the TCM engine.

Back in 2009, my TR182 (C82R) was treated like a TRIN! Since then they have realized its superior performance and upgraded it to a custom model
Funny also that a DA42 is a Piper Arrow (P28R).

What’s funny here is that the SR22 and the C172 come tops in the ‘Little League’ and right after each other. Would have expected the C172 much further down the list, but that’s probably nearly all training flights.
PS: Peter, how on Earth do you dig up these docs ????
TB20/21 makes up 0.14% of Eurocontrol IFR traffic
Traffic in this context means “Total number of flights”.
My feeling is that the stats will look even worse for GA if the stats would be based on “NM miles flown” or “Hours flown” instead of number of flights.
At my home base, I think that 75% of the light IFR traffic is for training. That are typically short flights, i.e. 45 min. to an instrument airport, 20 min. training and 45 minutes back..
