One LSA Already In Use By Denver Flight School
Gobosh Aviation told ANN Thursday it has delivered the first two
G700S light sport aircraft in North America, after reporting strong
interest in the new LSA offering during its AirVenture 2007
debut.
One G700S -- the light sport version of the venerable AT-3 --
was pressed into service as a flight training platform at Skyraider
Aviation in Denver, CO.
"With a field elevation over 5,000' and summer temperatures
regularly climbing into the upper 90's, density altitude is a major
concern," said Skyraider Aviation president Chris Dillis. "The G700
is performing beyond expectations! It continues to generate revenue
for our flight school on even the hottest days. Our flying
club members are extremely pleased with the quality and performance
of the aircraft."
Company executives say while flight schools are attracted to
performance and economy, students are drawn to the G700S's
large-aircraft feel and attention to detail.
"Many Light Sport Aircraft have utilitarian interiors that make
them seem more like kit aircraft," adds Tim Baldwin, President of
Gobosh Aviation. "The G700S is clearly the LSA leader in
performance, economy and finish. Plus, you can take delivery of one
today."
In addition to accoutrements the company says sets the G700S
apart from its more spartan LSA competitors, Gobosh also notes the
G700S boasts the longest warranty in its class at two years/400
hours -- another benefit to commercial operators that helps reduce
cost and maximize revenue.
