AeroJones Aviation Begins Shipments To Flight Design USA

First Taiwan-Manufactured CTLS Light-Sport Aircraft Are En Route

The first Flight Design CTLS and CTLSi customer aircraft from Taiwan-based manufacturer AeroJones have been shipped to FDUSA distributor Airtime Aviation in Tulsa Oklahoma.

Flight Design USA signed a production and distribution agreement with AeroJones Aviation of Taichung, Taiwan to supply Flight Design aircraft and spare parts for the USA. AeroJones is a licensee for the CTLS and CTLSi series with Flight Design of Germany.

"We are extremely pleased to get the first shipment from fully approved and certified producer, Taiwan-based AeroJones," said Tom Peghiny, President of Flight Design USA. "We have not been able to get enough airplanes to meet demand for nearly two years. With this first delivery of two aircraft to Airtime Aviation, we are going to get things really rolling again in the USA."

"I recently visited their facility located in Xiamen, across the Strait of Taiwan from their corporate headquarters, and it is a highly professional operation," said Peghiny. "I went there just before the first container shipment to observe the Flight Design staff from Germany and Ukraine perform the final compliance inspections in accordance with the ASTM requirements for the SLSA approval of those planes.

"The aircraft are Flight Design aircraft in all respects," Peghiny reported. He noted that the materials, molds, processes and manuals are identical to those used to produce the existing worldwide fleet of CT series aircraft. "The conformity paperwork is approved by the Flight Design engineers and the final FAA 8130-15 Statement of Compliance is signed by Flight Design engineers," he said.

"We will be present at Sun 'n Fun 2016 to meet with and learn from the U.S. dealers and customers. We are very proud to see our aircraft come to the biggest aviation market in the world," said AeroJones Aviation Vice Executive President, Chi-Tai Hsieh. "We have put a tremendous amount of work into this project and feel that the quality of our products will meet with customer's expectations." AeroJones has been licensed by Flight Design GmbH to do all fabrication and assembly work needed to serially build CTLS aircraft to ASTM standards.
