Special Fleet Pricing Available For LSA Trainers
Evektor Aircraft,
Inc., of Melbourne, Florida, has announced a new Flight School
Incentive Program designed specifically to help flight schools
around the United States replace their training fleets. From
Evektor Aircraft’s SportStar MAX BT (Basic Trainer) to their
SportStar MAX IFR, each aircraft is customizable, depending on each
flight school’s training, instrumentation, and cost/benefit
requirement.
Evektor has already made several refinements to their S-LSA
Aircraft used for flight training. The all-metal SportStar is
known for its stable flight characteristics and low maintenance
costs. The aircraft is built for flight schools and can be kept at
a tie-down, the company says. Its straight forward stall and spin
characteristics make it a stable, student pilot platform.
Josef Bostik, President of Evektor
said, “The Evektor SportStar is not just a training aircraft.
The SportStar MAX is a desirable Sport Plane that can be flown by
pilots looking to lower the cost of their pleasure flying or
business commute. Able to carry two persons in its 47” wide,
comfortable cockpit, carry a week’s supply of baggage at 110
knots for nearly 800 miles non-stop, the SportStar is not your
Grandfather’s Cessna or Piper!”
Evektor also offers the SportStar MAX IFR for more advanced
training. The MAX IFR is the first Light Sport Aircraft that is
Part 23 instrument compliant for IFR IMC flight, and can be used to
train students from Sport Pilot, Private, up to and including a
Commercial Instrument rating. The MAX IFR comes equipped with the
Certified Rotax 912S 100 HP which has a 1500 hour TBO. Based on 800
hours per year use in a flight school, the operating cost of the
SportStar BT, and SportStar Max IFR Trainer is less than half that
of a Cessna 172.
“Low acquisition costs, low maintenance costs, and the
lowest operating costs make Evektor Aircraft’s 2009 lineup
the logical choice for integration into existing training
fleets,” Stated John Dunham, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing at Evektor Aircraft, Inc. Dunham added, “We are
hearing from flight school operators interested in seeing the
SportStar up close and personal, and already have dozens of
aircraft working, and new arrivals are being placed into Flight
Schools in many major metropolitan areas.”
Evektor Aerotechnik is working on a comprehensive Export and
Flight School Financing Program for flight schools here in
cooperation with the Czech Export Bank. Distribution is from its US
based operation, Evektor Aircraft, in Melbourne. Fleet prices will
range from a little over $110,000 for the SportStar BT, to around
$155,000 for the SportStar MAX IFR equipped version.
