FLIGHT DESIGN EXTENDS WARRANTY AT NO ADDED COST

Strong Warranty Expected to Stimulate New Aircraft Sales

Leinfelden-Echterdingen, GERMANY / 16 January 2012 – In a strong move to assure its customers gain added value with the purchase of a new aircraft (CTLS, MC or new four seater C4), German producer Flight Design has significantly improved its warranty program, calling it the XP or eXtended Protection Warranty. The Warranty is even applied retroactively.

“Since the beginning we have focused on delivering value to our customers,” began Flight Design USA President Tom Peghiny. “We have a solid group of highly-trained service outlets and we have an ongoing program to assure customers get the information to maintain their aircraft to high standards. To that we now add one of the best warranties in aviation.” Read the rest of this entry »

Part 23 Reorganization ARC Holds First Meeting

November 17, 2011 – The first meeting of the FAA’s newly formed Part 23 Reorganization Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) took place this week in Washington, D.C., involving representatives from FAA’s Small Airplane Directorate, Aircraft Certification, and Flight Standards Service as well as aviation industry and community members, including EAA.

Oliver Reinhardt presenting for Flight Design

The ARC’s charter group is charged with creating a progressive, tiered certification system – from low-complexity, low-performance airplanes all the way to high-complexity, high-performance airplanes – so small recreational airplanes won’t have to be designed and certificated under the same regulatory requirements as heavier, more complex, and higher performance aircraft. The end-result should allow manufacturers to bring small planes to market faster and at less cost.

EAA Vice President of Industry and Regulatory Affairs Sean Elliott called the effort a “unique opportunity” for GA. “The possibilities are amazing,” Elliott said. “We’re bringing Part 23 into the 21st century, integrating modern technology, simplifying certification requirements, and improving safety. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for aviation.”

When its work is completed after 18 months, the ARC will submit a report detailing recommendations and tasks to Earl Lawrence, manager of the Small Airplane Directorate. Lawrence can extend the charter up to six months if needed.

5th Annual USA CT Fly-In held in Page, Arizona

CTLS – CTsw – CT2K Enthusiasts Gathered in Page, Arizona

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / October 27, 2011 – A flock of Flight Design CT series Light-Sport Aircraft flew in from all over the southwestern U.S. to attend the Fifth Annual National CT Fly-in in Page Arizona. The event took place over October 14-16, 2011.

NOW SEE the VIDEO HERE

Possessing the largest fleet in the Light-Sport Aircraft sector by a wide margin (nearly double the #2 seller), Flight Design is the most likely company to hold annual single-brand gatherings. Few other LSA producers have enough aircraft in a region to make such an event viable.

“Approximately 35 CTs attended the Fly-In,” observed John Doman, Director of Business Development and Global Sales & Marketing for Flight Design GmbH. Along with about 60 persons overall, John attended the Fly-in on behalf of manufacturer Flight Design GmbH of Germany. Most of the attendees were of retirement age, a common attribute among those buying and operating Light-Sport Aircraft, noted Doman. A few attendees were in the 25-40 age group. The majority of buyers purchased their CT for the ability to fly without an FAA Medical.

The 2011 LSA tour continues

Dallas Ft Worth set for an LSA invasion October 14-16

WE will have our CTLS, CTLE and the MC at these events!

Our partner Airtime Aviation of Tulsa OK.
Will be doing the demos:
Addison, Denton & Dallas Executive airports in the Dallas Ft Worth area are hosting the
2011 Dallas Ft Worth LSA tour. Aircraft  will be on display and demonstration flights
available at each of the locations. Bill Canino of Sportair USA, one of the participants
said “Not everyone interested in purchasing a plane can attend one of the larger shows
each year. The LSA Tours have been a great way to showcase these aircraft to a much
more localized and interested audience”. “This is the ideal format for people to check
out the top ten LSA’s without  the pressure or hassle of  a national show” said Randy
Schlitter of Rans Aircraft. “In fact, it’s probably the best format to see all the main LSA
players, and demo each model” he added. Read the rest of this entry »
