Special Fleet Pricing Available For LSA Trainers

Evektor Aircraft, Inc., of Melbourne, Florida, has announced a new Flight School Incentive Program designed specifically to help flight schools around the United States replace their training fleets.  From Evektor Aircraft’s SportStar MAX BT (Basic Trainer) to their SportStar MAX IFR, each aircraft is customizable, depending on each flight school’s training, instrumentation, and cost/benefit requirement.

Evektor has already made several refinements to their S-LSA Aircraft used for flight training.  The all-metal SportStar is known for its stable flight characteristics and low maintenance costs. The aircraft is built for flight schools and can be kept at a tie-down, the company says. Its straight forward stall and spin characteristics make it a stable, student pilot platform.

Josef Bostik, President of Evektor said, “The Evektor SportStar is not just a training aircraft. The SportStar MAX is a desirable Sport Plane that can be flown by pilots looking to lower the cost of their pleasure flying or business commute. Able to carry two persons in its 47” wide, comfortable cockpit, carry a week’s supply of baggage at 110 knots for nearly 800 miles non-stop, the SportStar is not your Grandfather’s Cessna or Piper!”

Evektor also offers the SportStar MAX IFR for more advanced training. The MAX IFR is the first Light Sport Aircraft that is Part 23 instrument compliant for IFR IMC flight, and can be used to train students from Sport Pilot, Private, up to and including a Commercial Instrument rating. The MAX IFR comes equipped with the Certified Rotax 912S 100 HP which has a 1500 hour TBO. Based on 800 hours per year use in a flight school, the operating cost of the SportStar BT, and SportStar Max IFR Trainer is less than half that of a Cessna 172.

“Low acquisition costs, low maintenance costs, and the lowest operating costs make Evektor Aircraft’s 2009 lineup the logical choice for integration into existing training fleets,” Stated John Dunham, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Evektor Aircraft, Inc. Dunham added, “We are hearing from flight school operators interested in seeing the SportStar up close and personal, and already have dozens of aircraft working, and new arrivals are being placed into Flight Schools in many major metropolitan areas.”

Evektor Aerotechnik is working on a comprehensive Export and Flight School Financing Program for flight schools here in cooperation with the Czech Export Bank. Distribution is from its US based operation, Evektor Aircraft, in Melbourne. Fleet prices will range from a little over $110,000 for the SportStar BT, to around $155,000 for the SportStar MAX IFR equipped version.
