New SportCruiser SVAP+ And SVAP Light Ready For Shipment To The USA
On the fourth day of the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo 2015 taking place in Lakeland (FL), Czech Sport Aircraft confirmed that two more SportCruiser are now complete and being prepared for shipment to the USA. This new shipment includes both SVAP+ and SVAP Light models and forms part of the record order for 16 SportCruiser that was announced earlier in the year.
Matthew Harvey, Managing Director of Aviation Trading, the official authorised trading partner of Czech Sport Aircraft said, “After the eight units that shipped to the USA in the final quarter of last year, it is great news to be starting deliveries of the new 2015 production year SportCruiser. Based on the recently-published statistics for market share in 2014, Czech Sport Aircraft continues to hold a very strong position with the SportCruiser among the top 5 Special Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers on the US market. This is clearly testimony to the reputation the SportCruiser has developed over the years, all of which is backed up today by first class aftersales support from US Sport Aircraft in Texas and its local network. We are looking forward to another successful year.”
Both aircraft are installed with the new SkyView Touch™ and Ballistic Recovery System, as well as Stall Warning that comes as standard on production year 2015 model SportCruiser. Additionally, both aircraft are configured in customised Classic Design paint schemes with Standard Leather upholstery.
Speaking from the Sun ‘n Fun International Fly-In & Expo 2015, Patrick Arnzen, President of US Sport Aircraft, said, “It is very encouraging to hear that the next batch of SportCruiser has been completed on schedule and is ready to ship out of the factory. The two aircraft on our booth here at Sun ‘n Fun have generated a lot of interest this week from a broad mix of customer base. The SportCruiser certainly turns heads and gets a lot of recognition. We remain in close dialogue with Czech Sport Aircraft and Aviation Trading concerning all aspects of our business activities and we see 2015 as a very important year for everyone connected to the SportCruiser.”
For production year 2015, the SportCruiser will continue to be supplied in both the ever-popular SVAP+ and SVAP Light configuration. The SportCruiser SVAP+ offers dual-screen Dynon 10” SkyView Touch™ instrumentation together with additional enhanced features. The SportCruiser SVAP Light is based on the increased demand from the U.S. market for an entry-level Light Sport Aircraft that combines affordability and advanced features with the flexibility to upgrade.
The SportCruiser now offers even more value for money in 2015 with the inclusion of additional equipment in the standard configuration aimed at further improving both the in-flight experience and general flight safety. SkyView Touch™ now comes as standard on both SportCruiser models for 2015 and adds the convenience of touch when you want it but keeps a full set of buttons and joystick knobs for precise control in turbulence. Capacitive multi-touch technology allows natural actions such as two finger pinch-to-zoom on the map. Unlike most touch-based avionics and tablets, SkyView Touch™ preserves SkyView’s sunlight-readable and glare-rejecting screen.
Among other enhancements to the standard configuration, the production year 2015 SportCruiser also comes with a Stall Warning system as standard. Czech Sport Aircraft developed a Stall Warning system that received EASA certification in Europe for the PS-28 Cruiser in 2013 and has already proved to be a great success. The system provides both voice and light alert signals that warn the pilot in advance of reaching the stall speed. In the specific field of flight training, this new system enables student pilots to familiarise themselves with a particular system that they will later use on other aircraft. The Stall Warning system for the SportCruiser uses components produced by the American company Safe Flight Instrument Corporation that is a leader in aviation safety and flight performance systems. With components installed on over 60% of the world’s aircraft fleet, Safe Flight Instrument Corporation has the majority of the world’s aircraft manufacturers among its customers.
With the aim of ensuring quality, general safety and airworthiness of Light Sport Aircraft, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has introduced more frequent audits of Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers. Having already conducted several audits of U.S. Light Sport Aircraft manufacturers, the FAA audit of Czech Sport Aircraft took place in 2013 and was the second such audit to take place outside the USA. The audit focused on all aspects of compliance with FAA accepted Light Sport Aircraft ASTM consensus standards and no safety related issues were found by the FAA inspectors during the Czech Sport Aircraft audit.
Current statistics confirm that the SportCruiser remains one of the most renowned and best-selling Light Sport Aircraft on the US market today. The SportCruiser is a double-seat aircrafts of full metal construction. The aircraft is arranged as a low-wing mono-plane with cantilevered wings and conventional empennage. The SportCruiser is certified according to USA ASTM regulations and can be operated in countries recognising LSA regulations such as the USA, South Africa, Australia and some South American countries.
