All Lancair Models Covered Under The Plan

The Lancair Owners & Builders Organization announced Tuesday it has achieved a major milestone in helping Lancair owners obtain aircraft insurance. Following a careful review, Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services has accepted LOBO-developed Initial and Recurrent flight training programs to meet its insurance requirements for all models of the Lancair kit plane.

“The LOBO team designed custom Lancair flight training syllabi as part of our larger goal to promote Lancair safety through education and training,” said LOBO President, Jeff Edwards. “Working with the FAA and a team of highly-qualified, highly-skilled professional flight instructors intimately familiar with Lancair aircraft, we created and published Initial and Recurrent training programs for Lancair aircraft including the popular Legacy and IV."

All of LOBO’s training curricula are based on FAA/Industry Training Standards (FITS) criteria. FITS is a partnership between the FAA and aviation industry training experts designed to improve and enhance flight training in the general aviation community. FITS encourages scenario-based flight training focused on aeronautical decision making, risk management and single-pilot resource management skills.

“In keeping with FITS philosophies, LOBO’s training goes far beyond teaching only the stick and rudder skills needed to meet minimum Practical Test Standards. Using the specialized techniques and methods integral to FITS, LOBO’s training prepares pilots to competently and safely handle the challenges they will experience in real-world flying,” said Mr. Edwards.
