Ventum Air Flight Academy In Poland Takes Delivery Of Third PS-28 Cruiser
Czech Sport Aircraft announced the delivery of a PS-28 Cruiser to Ventum Air Flight Academy in Warsaw, Poland. The delivery took place this morning at the company’s production facility in Kunovice and sees SP-GBE become the third PS-28 Cruiser to enter the fleet with Ventum Air, where it will be used in support of their internationally recognised PPL and CPL training programme.
Speaking during the handover in Kunovice, Matthew Harvey, Managing Director of Aviation Trading, the official authorised trading partner of Czech Sport Aircraft said, “Ventum Air is a very well-recognised and successful Approved Training Organisation and we thank them for the continued confidence they have shown in both the aircraft and our support network through expanding their fleet of PS-28 Cruiser. We are working closely with GB Aircraft in promoting the benefits of such a cost-effective new generation training aircraft to other operators in Poland. The positive feedback that Ventum Air is receiving from students and charter customers who are using the PS-28 Cruiser is certainly very encouraging. It is with great pleasure that we hand over SP-GBE this morning.
Commenting upon taking delivery of SP-GBE, Marcin Piechota, President of the Management Board of Ventum Air Flight Academy, said, “Everybody connected to Ventum Air recognises the success of the PS-28 Cruiser and the new dimension that it has brought to our flight school in a relatively short space of time. We are delighted to be taking delivery of SP-GBE this morning. We recognise the success that Czech Sport Aircraft is having with the PS-28 Cruiser and this is no surprise when we consider the factors that influenced our decision to proceed with the initial purchase of SP-GBC and SP-GBD. We thank GB Aircraft for their continued aftersales support and we now look forward to integrating SP-GBE into our operations.”
SP-GBE has been delivered in identical livery to SP-GBC and SP-GBD with a customised Czech Sport Aircraft Yellow Classic Design paint scheme, combined with Slate Grey Standard Leather upholstery. The aircraft is configured with the ever-popular Classic cockpit with analogue instrumentation and is very well equipped as standard in production year 2015 with Stall Warning, VOR/LOC/GS navigation device with Garmin GNC 255a NAV/COM and advanced cabin heating and defogging system. SP-GBE is delivered once again as a result of the successful cooperation with GB Aircraft, the company’s national importer for Poland.
GB Aircraft is based in Warsaw and is the sole importer of the PS-28 Cruiser and associated spare parts on the Polish market. Through their strategic partnership with Aviation Service Sp. z o.o., GB Aircraft also offers Part M/G CAMO and Part 145 Maintenance Organisation as well as certified Rotax maintenance.
Rafał Karski, President of the Management Board of GB Aircraft, said, “Ventum Air is certainly a great ambassador for the aircraft on the local market. The PS-28 Cruiser is generating a lot of interest and we are currently in dialogue not only with other flight schools, but also with private individuals who can see the benefits of the aircraft for recreational flying in Poland. GB Aircraft is always ready to ensure Ventum Air has the necessary assistance in support of their flight training operations and we look forward to the fleet of PS-28 Cruiser expanding even more through Poland during the year ahead.”
The PS-28 Cruiser is a double-seat aircraft of full metal construction. The aircraft is arranged as a low-wing mono-plane with cantilevered wings and conventional empennage. The PS-28 Cruiser is type certified for VFR Day operations according to EASA CS-LSA regulations and can be fully commercially operated in EASA countries or in countries where the PS-28 Cruiser obtained local CAA Type Certification.
Currently a total of over 500 PS-28 Cruiser and SportCruiser have been produced. Over 200 aircraft are operating in the USA and almost 200 aircraft are operating in Europe where the company is enjoying significant sales success. The excellent flight characteristics of the aircraft and robust construction of the airframe are perfectly suited to entry-level students and this makes the SportCruiser the ideal platform for training purposes. The facts on the market today clearly confirm the leadership of the SportCruiser within this important segment of the Light Sport Aircraft market, with the aircraft being operated in over 20 flight schools in the USA alone.
Czech Sport Aircraft is located in the city of Kunovice in the heart of the Moravian aviation valley where, from 1954 up to the present day, several aircraft have been designed, developed and manufactured. The company was formed in 2009 adding to almost 80 years of aviation pedigree and history in the city of Kunovice. Czech Sport Aircraft is focused on the research, design, development and production of Light Sport Aircraft for basic and advanced flight training, basic military pilot training, general recreational use and air tourism.
