SportairUSA Reports It Has Presold Seven Aircraft

SportairUSA has reported that the American version of the Savage Norden by Zlin Aviation has received an FAA certificate of airworthiness in the category of Special Light-Sport Aircraft (SLSA). SportairUSA is the distributor and service center for Savage and other sport aircraft in the USA.

“The Norden is a high performing, aluminum-wing airplane with electrically controlled leading-edge slats, designed and thoroughly tested for short-field and off-runway performance,” SportairUSA said. “It also exhibits good speed and stable cruise characteristics which are unusual in aircraft of this design. We have reserved a limited number of production slots, with delivery scheduled for this year.”

SportairUSA worked with FAA representatives to achieve the certification during the fall and winter of 2021-22. “We appreciate the attention to safety that the FAA brings to this certification process,” said the company.  

SportairUSA reports it has presold seven aircraft and reserved six additional production slots for 2022. More than 50 have been sold worldwide.

The first Norden in the states will be flown in May to its new home in McCarthy, Alaska, at the foot of the Wrangell Mountains.

The American version of the Norden can be seen at AirVenture ’22 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, July 22—31.
