SportCruiser LSA Returns!

US Sport Aircraft has entered into a deal to import Czech Aircraft Group's SportCruiser. 

The Czech SportCruiser will be making a return to American shores once again, coming back to the market after a few years away. 

US Sport Aircraft was the original importer of the aircraft from 2006 to 2017, filling the fleet of their training partner, Thrust Flight, with plenty of modern, cost-effective, glass-panel aircraft. The plane may be more familiar to some under its brief stint as the PiperSport, which was imported for a short time in 2011 until the company just as abruptly backed out of the arrangement, apparently disinterested in the light sport aircraft market. That was a boon for US Sport, though, as all that interest in the plane headed their way soon after.

The outfit has seen strong interest in the affordable, modern aircraft, especially with flight training operations strapped for fuel and insurance costs. The lightweight, Dynon or Garmin avionics are a definite draw when bringing in new students averse to vintage six-packs and aged tweed interiors. US Sport boasts that the 'Cruiser has lower operating, and acquisition costs for a technically advanced aircraft suitable for IFR training, offering ample interior space and a ballistic recovery parachute just in case the worst does come to pass. They also hinted at a possible increase to the max takeoff weight in the near future, saying that the change will be ready the second the 1,320-pound limit is lifted. 

“We’re glad to be working with US Sport Aircraft once again. With their extraordinary SportCruiser sales track record in the past, knowledge of the light sport aircraft market, and level of technical support, I know they’ll make a great partner in helping us serve our US customers,” said Czech Aircraft CEO Vojt?ch T?ma. “Over the past few years, we’ve significantly improved the SportCruiser aircraft in all aspects of safety, design, avionics equipment, and cockpit comfort.”

“We experienced great demand when we originally imported SportCruiser and can’t wait to see them available once again,” said Thrust Flight CEO Patrick Arnzen. “Their modern features make them an attractive option for both flight training students and recreational flyers.”
