At the Paris Air Show, Elixir Aircraft announced that\nScottsdale, Arizona based Sierra Charlie Aviation has ordered more than 100\nElixir Full Glass Cockpit 100HP, part 23 aircraft, 50 on option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the high demand for Airline pilots, the Elixir Aircraft\nwill be integrated into Sierra Charlie\u2019s Aviator Career Program. The program is\ndesigned and focused on training the very best pilots, taking students with no\npast flying experience through all certifications and ratings. However, while\nother programs focus on speed and rushing students through a nonstandard\ncurriculum, Sierra Charlie\u2019s Aviator Program follows a structured syllabus that\nconsiders different learning styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLike Elixir Aircraft, we pride ourselves on innovation and\nsafety, and being ahead of the curve. This means providing our students with\nbest and safest tools out there to ensure the highest quality education and\ntraining. The 4th generation Elixir is definitely one of these tools,\u201d says\nScott Campbell owner of Sierra Charlie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe simplicity, yet strength of the airplane like the\ncomponents built with the OneShot technology is a game changer. Less than 1000\nreferences in the whole plane and half a day 100hr maintenance checks means my\nElixirs will be flying a lot. And my students already fly a lot!\u201d adds Scott\nCampbell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSpeaking with Sierra Charlie, it\u2019s clear both our\nbusinesses are focused on commercial and industrial development. We know the\ndemand for the global aviation market, training aircraft and pilot shortage. We\naim to work together to do whatever we need to do to meet that demand,\u201d states\nArthur Leopold Leger, CEO of Elixir Aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mike Tonkin, Elixir\u2019s Head of Worldwide Sales explains\n\u201cSierra Charlie\u2019s order comes off the back of recent Elixir orders by several\nlarge flight training organizations around the world including the Airbus\nFlight Academy and the Mermoz Academy. There are more orders to come and our\nnew 12,000m\u00c2\u00b2 factory at La Rochelle airport and an assembly facility in\nFlorida, USA is a key part of this growth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKnowing Scott [Campbell] and his team for years and their\nprofessionalism when it comes to flight training, we are thrilled about their\nlarge fleet order. It will have a positive impact on their students, but also\nhelp feed the US part 121 and 135 operators. It\u2019s full throttle for Elixir in America.\u201d\nsays Dr Scott Firsing, Elixir Aircraft\u2019s North America Sales and Business\nDevelopment Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
