Deliveries Scheduled For March
BF Scandinavian Aviation Academy located in Vasteras, Sweden,
will add six new 172R Skyhawks equipped with Garmin G1000 to their
fleet of 27 Cessna aircraft beginning in March 2005. The new 172R
Skyhawks will display the flight schools' distinct orange and blue
on white paint scheme. This marks Cessna's first European fleet
order for 172s equipped with the G1000 glass cockpits.
"We opened the flight school in 1963 and began using Cessna
aircraft for primary flight training in 1976," said Evert Raadsen,
Sales Director for BFHangar 5. "Our fleet is distinct because it is
one of the newest in the area. In addition to the six new G1000
equipped aircraft we will add next year, we took delivery of 11 new
172Rs less than four years ago. We choose the 172 because they are
reliable and have a low operating cost. We will continue to use the
172s for introductory flight training prior to our students
progressing to advanced training in Cessna 340s."
BF Scandinavian Aviation Academy is one of the leading flight
training schools in the region. They train approximately 250
commercial and ATPL students annually, and are recognized as a
Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) approved flight school. Additionally,
they operate BF Hangar 5, which is an EASA certified maintenance
facility.
Cessna announced the 172 with Garmin G1000 in July 2004. Cessna
anticipates delivery of the first G1000 equipped 172 in early 2005.
Customers taking delivery of the G1000-equipped Skyhawks have the
distinct advantage of Cessna's FAA/Industry Training Standards
(FITS) approved G1000 program. The program is designed to assist
customers in their transition from traditional aircraft panel
gauges to the new all-glass, jet-like cockpit.
