AIRBORNE CERTIFICATION

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

The Australian company plan to have their XT 582 and 912 Tugs certified to US Sport Pilot in early 2008.

This means US flight parks will have a ‘legal’ tug which will allow them to continue operating their flight parks in 2008.

After Sport Pilot approval, the company will then apply for Section S approval which will allow other countries to use the tugs.
