Manufacturer List Grows To 60 Aircraft
Aircraft business consulting service Downing Aviation Associates
announced this week the expansion of the company's compilations of
manufacturers' data of Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) from 57 to 60
aircraft. In addition, DAA has reviewed and updated each aircraft's
pricing based on manufacturers' provided data.
"It is important that interested OEMs, individuals, training
schools, and other businesses have the most current unbiased
comparative LSA information available," said Richard Reuland,
Engineering Associate for DAA. "In these challenging economic
conditions, being equipped to make an informed buying decision is
imperative."
Reuland said the LSA project started in early 2008. "We brought
our experience, our technical expertise and resources together to
normalize the available information for the aircraft being
developed in the Light Sport segment," he said. "
In October we began offering this copyrighted
material through our website and it has met with very favorable
comments. Utilizers of this material appreciate the amount of data
that has been gathered and the easy to read tables and
charts. We will continue to update this study as new
information and revisions become available."
In addition to the published data, DAA works with individual
customers considering purchasing light sport aircraft and with OEMs
seeking additional marketing information. DAA couples its base
quantitative information with qualitative input by means of simple
questionnaires. DAA then provides customized, tailored, and
detailed aircraft-to-aircraft comparison reports, including
relative values.
DAA also assists prospective buyers in selecting and comparing
optional equipment, helping them configure the aircraft to their
specific needs, while avoiding unnecessary expense for unwanted or
unneeded add-ons.
Information on how to purchase these comparison listings can be
found on the DAA web site.
