Aircraft - the GS Aviation Fleet - Which one would you like to fly?

TeamEurostar G-CFRT Joined our training fleet 19 February 2009. 2-seater side by side with cabin heat. Fitted with twin sticks and toe brakes this is a much more like a "proper" GA type aircraft. The clean aerodynamics combined with the 80hp Rotax engine result in a fast but economical aircraft. It cruises at 85 - 100 mph effortlessly yet is still happy in the circuit at 65mph. Max level speed is 125 mph. It will not only be available for trial flights, ab-initio students and full NPPL(m) training on an hourly bases but also in shares for training and qualified pilots. The share purchase cost of only £2985 payable by credit card or as 3 monthly payments of £1000 paid by cheque. The first share has already gone to Nigel who has started differences training to get flying it. More Eurostar Information.   Training costs in UK

Ikarus C42 G-CFBE GS Aviation are now using the Ikarus C42 as their primary training aircraft in the UK with a brand new one delivered in July 2008. This aircraft has been chosen as it is a high wing aircraft and the cockpit has easy access for students. It has forgiving handling characteristics, ideal for the low hours Pilot, along with a comfortable cabin including heating. The gas shock absorbers make for a strong durable undercarriage and, with disc brakes and flaps, the short field capability is second to none. A comfortable and economic cruise of 70 knots (80mph) allows both students and qualified pilots to go places at a fuel burn of 12 litres an hour on the Rotax 912 80hp engine. Again available for pupils during training on an hourly basis and also for shared ownership. More C42 Information.   Training costs in UK

Pegasus GT-450 G-CERN We took delivery of a brand new Pegasus GT450 August 2007. G-CERN has the 100hp high power but extremely frugal Rotax 912s engine. This is an open cockpit aircraft that is ideal for all training and cross country flying. With a 0 to takeoff in under 4 seconds, it really leaps off the ground. Last year this took part in our expedition to France not only carrying two people but tents and camping equipment as well. More GT450 Information.   Training costs in UK

MT-03 gyrocopter G-CFGY The MT-03 gyrocopter joined us new in Mid 2008 and will start training flight early 2009. It is an amazing machine, quite unlike any other type of aircraft. Also with the Rotax 100hp engine it can fly as slow as 25 mph or up to 100mph. We will be offering training to NPPL(G) and also share ownership. More Gyrocopter Information.

In France we have a fixed wing X-Air. The X-Air, a high wing, two seat side by side, conventionally controlled microlight. Fitted with dual controls and a 4 stroke Jabiru engine. It is becoming increasingly popular in the UK as a kit build aircraft. It is a good traditional microlight which is easy to fly.   More X-Air Information.   Training costs in France

Also in France we have chosen the more sophisticated high wing Tecnam P92 all metal aircraft. This aircraft has similar performance figures to the C42, with a cruise of 80knots (92mph) and utilises the Rotax 912 (80hp) engine. The P92 differs slightly in that it has dual sticks and electric flaps, and is an all metal construction as per Cessna etc. This aircraft incorporates sliding seats and full electric trim, and has a fantastic slow speed capability, once again chosen by Graham Slater the Chief Flying Instructor for its good all round performance without the vices.   More Tecnam P92 Information.   Training costs in France

We also have a Pegasus Quantum 912 based in France to be able to offer intensive flex wing training in the summer. Fitted with the reliable Rotax 80hp 4-stroke, 4 cylinder engine it provides a very reliable and stable training machine.   Training costs in France
