SFC, Sydney Flight College, recently took delivery of the first\nof six-brand new Archer TXs. The new aircraft was unveiled in November and is\npart of a fleet order for six factory new Piper Archers TX\u2019s and will be added\nto their fleet of Piper trainers bringing the total operational PA-28s to\nthirty-eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SFC\u2019s investment comes twenty-five years to the day, when\nthey purchased their first new Archer in 1996. This purchase represents SFC’s\ncontinued commitment to the Piper brand and is one of the largest recent fleet\norders for Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SFC, originally Schofields Flight College, started at the\nSchofields Airfield strip over fifty years ago and is located in a suburb of\nSydney, Australia. Today, SFC has grown into a flying club offering four\nclasses\/cohorts per year for the Commercial Pilots License and Diploma of\nAviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nick Jones, VP Aircraft Sales Airflite, Piper\u2019s dealer\npartner in Australia, was at the unveiling and reflected, \u201cIt has been quite\nsome time since Airflite delivered this number of new Archers at one time in\nAustralia. This is a really significant event and an exciting milestone for\nAirflite, SFC and Piper Aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frank Peronace, President of SFC, commented, \u201cIn the past\nfew months, the whole world has been upside down with the pandemic, yet here we\nare, at its emergence, doing what we are doing today – unveiling the first of\nsix-brand new Archer TXs.\u201d He continued, \u201cThis new generation of fuel-injected\ntraining aircraft, equipped with Garmin G1000 NXi, will allow our members to\ngain valuable flying experience with an advanced glass cockpit. Our students will graduate as commercial\npilots with a strong flying foundation on which to build their aviation\ncareers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
