Designed To Support Upset Prevention And Recovery Training Flight Schools
WACO Aircraft Corp. has rolled out a new Factory Direct leasing program for the Great Lakes 2T-1A-2. The company says the program is designed to support the Upset Prevention and Recovery Training needs for Flight Schools and help them comply with FAA AC 120-UPRT, FAA AC 120-109 and upcoming ICAO 10011 “Airplane Upset Prevention and Recovery Training” manual guidelines.
This simple lease plan is comprised of a low monthly base lease rate that includes flight hours, then an hourly rate for time over the included base. The program includes all scheduled maintenance. The program can be custom tailored for the unique needs of each school and features a streamlined approval process.
The new Great Lakes by WACO is a fully aerobatic, 180 horsepower aircraft featuring docile ground handling yet excellent aerobatic capability. The company says those characteristics make it "the perfect trainer for Loss of Control In-Flight (LOC-I) programs."
Integrating Upset Prevention and Recovery Training into your flight curriculum is an upcoming requirement for all part 141 schools.
The lease includes:
All Scheduled Maintenance including parts
Oil Changes (every 50 hours)
100 Hour Inspections
Annual Inspections
Pitot and Static certification
Squawks affecting the airworthiness of the airplane
Engine Replacement at TBO (1600 hours)
Complete aircraft overhaul at the factory every 3200 hours
The airplane has been certified by both FAA and EASA for transition training for instructors needing minimal checkout time.
