Piper Aircraft announced today that it has received type\ncertification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the Pilot 100.\nThe Pilot 100, which was announced during Sun-n-Fun in 2019, is the value priced\naddition to Piper\u2019s trainer-class line. Following certification, Piper began\ndeliveries to its launch customer, American Flyers, who will be taking delivery\nof eight (8) Pilot 100i aircraft by the end of 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are excited to add the Pilot 100 series to our training\nproduct line at a price point that provides optimal economics for all\noperators”, said Piper President and CEO, Simon Caldecott. \u201cDuring these\nuncertain times, our team has continued to remain focused and has worked\ndiligently to bring to market an aggressively priced, proven trainer that\noffers the advanced systems and performance that flight schools and airline\nprograms of all sizes desire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new Piper Pilot 100 rounds off Piper\u2019s portfolio of\ntraining aircraft products. With five model series (Pilot 100i, Archer TX,\nArcher DX, Arrow, and Seminole) the company offers the widest range of training\nproducts of any aircraft manufacturer, and meets all the individual needs of\nits training operators and customers. For 2021, flight schools now have an\noption for a factory new, robust trainer that is priced under $300,000 and is\nIFR equipped with digital autopilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Piper Pilot 100i is the perfect mix of simplicity and\ntechnology. The G3X avionics suite is the only glass platform that allows for\ntoggling between round dial and tape displays in a touchscreen format. This\noutperformed the G1000 suite on so many levels and was the primary reason we\nselected the Pilot 100i,\u201d said American Flyers\u2019 National Chief Pilot, Steven\nDaun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
