Texas Aircraft has received full FAA ASTM (American Society for Testing and Standards) certification for its new Colt Light Sport Aircraft, and can now start deliveries of production aircraft.
“The entire Texas Aircraft team has worked very long and hard to achieve this single goal,” said Matheus Grande, co-founder of Texas Aircraft.
“The new-generation Colt delivers on everything that was promised when the LSA category was originally introduced – it’s easy to fly, easy to maintain and priced to make the dream of personal aircraft ownership a reality for a wide variety of pilots.”
