New PS-28 Cruiser Delivery For Flight Training In Switzerland
Czech Sport Aircraft is very pleased to announce the delivery of yet another EASA-certified PS-28 Cruiser, this time destined for Switzerland. The delivery took place today at the company’s production facility in Kunovice and will see HB-WXC enter into service with Groupe de Vol à Moteur de Neuchâtel in Colombier where it will be used for flight training.
Commenting on this new delivery, Matthew Harvey, Co-Managing Director of Aviation Trading, the official authorised trading partner of Czech Sport Aircraft said, “After the first two EASA-certified PS-28 Cruiser entered into service in Switzerland last year, we are delighted to be delivering HB-WXC today and we look forward to expanding our fleet in this important market. It is very encouraging to see more and more flight schools and air clubs in Europe continuing to select the PS-28 Cruiser in recognition of the overwhelming operational benefits that the aircraft clearly offers. We thank Groupe de Vol à Moteur de Neuchâtel for the trust they have shown in the PS-28 Cruiser and we look forward to supporting them as the aircraft enters into service.”
HB-WXC is styled with Classic Design paint scheme in the ever popular Czech Sport Aircraft Yellow and Standard Leather upholstery in Slate Grey. The aircraft is additionally equipped with Stall Warning, Cabin Comfort Package and Sensenich propeller. HB-WXC enters the Swiss market as a result of the successful cooperation with the company’s local Swiss distributor LightSportAircraft.ch GmbH.
Speaking upon taking delivery of the aircraft, Urs Heim, President of LightSportAircraft.ch GmbH, said, “HB-WXA and HB-WXB are already performing well in a flight training role and the delivery of HB-WXC today is yet further confirmation that the PS-28 Cruiser is slowly establishing itself on the Swiss market. When also considering former versions of the aircraft delivered to Switzerland in the past, we can say that Czech Sport Aircraft has achieved full coverage of all corners of the country and this is an important point as we build a strong position on the market. We are ready to provide the highest standards of local customer support to Groupe de Vol à Moteur de Neuchâtel and we look forward to confirming new orders in the near future.”
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 by EASA for VFR Day operations according to the CS-LSA certification regulation 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 and delivered to customers throughout the world. Over 200 units of SportCruiser have been delivered to the USA and over 150 units of SportCruiser and PS-28 Cruiser combined have been delivered to Europe where the company enjoys significant sales success. Due to its robust construction, ease of maintenance and superior flight characteristics, the PS-28 Cruiser is the perfect platform for basic and advanced flight training, air clubs, basic military training, recreational use and air tourism.
The PS-38 Tourer is the first step in the evolution of the Czech Sport Aircraft product family based on the market-leading PS-28 Cruiser that has already firmly established itself as the benchmark new-generation aircraft for flight training in Europe. The aircraft was formally launched by Czech Sport Aircraft at the Aero Friedrichshafen 2014 exhibition. The PS-38 Tourer is a single engine, all-metal, high-wing monoplane of semi-monocoque structure with two side-by-side seats currently in development. Czech Sport Aircraft is evaluating type certification of the PS-38 Tourer according to either the CS-VLA or ELA 1 certification regulation in Europe and expects the aircraft to satisfy demand for a new-generation, cost-effective, multi-application high-wing solution for cross-country flying, air tourism and law enforcement operations.
Czech Sport Aircraft is located in Kunovice in the heart of the Czech aviation valley. From 1954 up to the present day several aircrafts have been designed, developed and manufactured in Kunovice. The company was formed based on almost 80 years of aviation pedigree and history. 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.
