By Janice Wood · November 17, 2009 ·

CTLSFlight Design USA has added three new flight schools to its Flight Design Pilot Center (FDPC) roster. The company now boasts a network of 19 flight schools using Flight Design Light Sport Aircraft and 38 flight instructors specially accredited to teach in the LSA.

New schools are: LSA North England at Hampton Airfield (7B3) in North Hampton, New Hampshire, operated by Phil Ross; Copper City Aviation Services at Bisbee Muni Airport (P04) in Bisbee, Arizona, operated by Eric Swisher; and Pilot’s Choice Aviation at Georgetown Municipal Airport (KGTU) in Georgetown, Texas, operated by Beth Ann Jenkins.

Flight Design USA is the U.S. importer of the CT series from Germany. The company has delivered more than 300 aircraft to its American network of distributors and dealers. One of the first LSA certified under ASTM standards, the carbon fiber CT has the largest LSA fleet in America. Additionally, more than 1,500 CT models are flying around the globe.
