Keys To Five Of Twenty Handed Over At Piper Headquarters In Vero Beach, FL
FlightSafety International has begun taking delivery of 20 factory new, single-engine Piper Warrior aircraft. The first five aircraft were handed over to FlightSafety Academy at the Piper factory in Vero Beach, Florida during a recent delivery ceremony. The remaining aircraft will be delivered throughout the fourth quarter, with all 20 expected to enter service before the end of the year.
"As a recognized leader at the forefront of building training aircraft, Piper is honored to provide FlightSafety with these initial Warriors for the Academy," said Piper President and CEO Simon Caldecott. "We are committed to manufacturing the most reliable, best value aircraft for the next generation of pilots."
"Our students will benefit from the training they receive using these well-equipped, efficient and reliable aircraft," said Nancy Ritter, Manager FlightSafety Academy. "We appreciate the outstanding value, quality and support Piper provides, and look forward to receiving the additional aircraft."
All of the aircraft will be equipped with Garmin G500 avionics suites and ADSB for the most comprehensive traffic and weather solution. The aircraft will have satellite enhanced dual antenna traffic awareness technology, enabling one-second updates for traffic situational awareness. All aircraft come equipped with GTN 650, replacing the former GNS 430.
