Strong Pilot Interest In The Airplane At AirVenture
NexAir Avionics, who retrofit
proven GA airframes with digital flight technology, announced
that they have received a purchase commitment and enthusiastic
pilot interest in the Saratoga NX , a completely modernized and
upgraded Saratoga and the first to feature the Avidyne Entegra
Release 9 Integrated Flight Deck (IFD).
In the first hours of the show, a pilot committed to purchase the
inaugural Saratoga NX. A steady stream of other pilots has
expressed strong interest in delivery slots commencing in October
for an aircraft that delivers maximum value and advanced avionics
capabilities without the high price, steep depreciation, and
increased insurance costs of a new airplane. Fly-away pricing for a
superbly equipped Saratoga NX is less than $400,000; an owner of an
existing Saratoga can transform it into a Saratoga NX for under
$250,000. The Saratoga NX and the industry-leading Cirrus are the
only aircraft available today with the Entegra R9 IFD.
"The Saratoga NX has really hit a sweet spot in the market for a
six-place business and personal aircraft with state-of-the-art
avionics and a spinner-to-tail modernization," said David
Fetherston, president of NexAir. "Pilots immediately see the value,
and that is showing in the incredibly strong interest we're seeing
and hearing at AirVenture."
The Saratoga NX is the product of the NexAir Aircraft
Integration and Re-engineering (AIR) program, a clean-slate
approach to revitalizing trusted and highly capable business and
personal aircraft. It is the result of more than 60 years of
experience that NexAir principals have in avionics design and
systems engineering, their reputation for integrity and
professionalism and their deep understanding of the technical and
practical flying aspects of today's most advanced avionics
systems.
