8. Flight Design CTLS: Efficiency Meets Innovation
Advertisement
Thanks to its creative design approach and great operational efficiency, the Flight Design CTLS stands out as a quite reasonably priced trainer. With its sophisticated composite construction methods, which produce a lightweight yet strong airframe, this modern light sport aircraft greatly lowers running expenses and maintenance needs. Usually consuming just 4-5 gallons per hour during training operations, the Rotax 912ULS engine of the aircraft offers exceptional fuel economy and consistent performance over a range of training conditions. Excellent visibility and ergonomic controls in the CTLS's roomy cockpit design help to create the best learning environment available to student pilots. Advanced safety elements include energy-absorbing structures, ballistic recovery systems, and advanced avionics choices that improve training safety while keeping reasonable running costs. Although the aircraft's contemporary systems architecture guarantees dependable operation with low maintenance downtime, its outstanding short-field performance and crosswind handling characteristics make it flexible for many training scenarios. These qualities, together with cheap acquisition prices and robust manufacturer support, make the Flight Design CTLS a great option for training companies on budgets.
