More Fight Design Pilot Centers Improve Customer
Convenience
Flight Design USA announced the addition of four new flight
schools to their growing roster of Flight Design Pilot Centers
(FDPC) Monday. With the additions, Flight Design claims a network
of 21 pilot centers using Flight Design Light-Sport Aircraft, which
the company believes to be the largest in America.
Flight Design USA welcomes Iowa Air in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
operated by Tim Busch; Paragon Flight Training in Fort Myers,
Florida, operated by Jeffrey Wolf; Ocala Aviation in Ocala, Florida
operated by Allen Buskirk; and Acadiana Flight Center at Acadiana
Regional Airport (KARA) in New Iberia, Louisiana operated by Robert
Viator.
In anticipation of an improving 2010, Flight Design says it goal
is to continue to place CTLS aircraft with established flight
schools. "We know flight schools recognize the Flight Design brand
and are aware of our modern CTLS with its full glass screen
instrument panels, standard airframe parachute system, huge roomy
cabin with wide-entry doors, and student-friendly flight
characteristics," reported Flight Design USA National Sales
Manager, John Gilmore.
"We have been very pleased to weather 2009 with a growing list
of flight schools that see the value, efficiency, and student
appeal for our CTLS Light-Sport," said Flight Design USA president,
Tom Peghiny. "We can offer these businesses a modern aircraft with
low acquisition and operation costs that also impresses younger
students." CTLS burns 5.5 gallons an hour at cruise, and offers
more cockpit room with greater visibility than many other aircraft
flight schools are using. Instructors say it is easy to land and
operate giving immediate positive feedback to students."
Flight Design USA is the U.S. importer of the CT series from
Germany. The Flight Design CTLS is an all-carbon-fiber Light-Sport
Aircraft with a wide, comfortable cabin with unparalleled
visibility; an 850-NM range at 115 knots using only 5 gph. A
full glass panel, Garmin radio stack and a BRS airframe parachute
are all standard equipment. Flight Design LSAs are backed with a
nationwide service network, next-day parts availability and an
established company serving more than 1,500 airplanes
worldwide.
