Safety

The CTLS has been certified to international airworthiness standards in the United States, Europe, China and India. The aircraft was developed by Flight Design’s professional engineering staff with safety as the number one priority in their minds and includes a number of safety specific design features.

The structure of the CTLS is over 90% carbon fiber and aramid which provides superior cockpit protection or “Safety Cell” for the pilot and passenger. In addition to the structural safety built into the CTLS, four-point safety harnesses and wing located fuel tanks are just a few of the well thought out safety features of this state-of-the-art aircraft.
