REBIRTH OF AVIATION?
"Light Sport Aircraft"

Just a follow up note to last week's article about Sport Planes. I was slightly surprised at the number of e-mails I received discussing the Sport Pilot article. All the comments were very positive and supportive of this new segment of the general aviation industry. But I was reminded by a few readers that there are more than just new Sport planes available.

That’s very true. Numerous used aircraft are available that can be flown under the Sport category. Remember the Sport category establishes weight and performance guidelines. If an aircraft meets those guidelines, the pilot can operate the plane in the Sport Category. Planes such as the Champ, a few of the Aircoupe (or Ercoupe) models, the Piper J3 and more can operate under the Sport category. These planes can be purchased and operated at very reasonable cost.

But the reality is, these planes are all dating back to the 40’s (except for the new reincarnation of the Champ). Yes, you can buy one for less money than a new Sport category plane. But, still, it is an old airplane. And those models have been around before the Sport category was implemented and we were not seeing the growth in aviation as we have with the new Sport planes.

Today’s Sport Planes could be the rebirth of aviation. Not many industries have a chance to start over, but if aviation is going to rebuild and grow, this is the way. For years the only opportunity for new aircraft production was from the big three: Piper, Beech and Cessna. Not that these three have not run into their share of headaches. Cessna stopped piston production in 1986, Piper went through bankruptcies and new owners and even Beech was passed around to the highest bidder. New manufacturers would pop up all the time, Cirrus, Columbia, Tiger, Commander… only a few have made it.

The new aircraft sales for companies like Cirrus and Cessna are good. The very light jet craze continues to grow. Production numbers are up, sales are good….but nothing has compared to the Sport category.

When you look at all of the general aviation numbers, the Sport category has seen the biggest growth. How many new models did Cessna and Piper introduce to the market? Hundreds of sport plane models are available and more are being introduced at every airshow. The increase in number of sport pilot flight schools should make the Cessna Pilot Centers envious. People that left aviation because of health, cost or age of aircraft are now getting back in.

The interest, growth and money spent in aviation has not been because of the used aircraft that meet the sport category, it is because of all the new manufacturers offering NEW aircraft to an aviation public that wants to fly. It is the excitement of new and improved grassroots aviation. What a great way to start over.
