CZECH Sport Aircraft Sport Cruiser, PS 28 Cruiser

One of the top selling aircraft in the U.S. light sport aircraft market is the Czech Sport Aircraft Sport Cruiser. While at Aero we talked to Matthew Harvey Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Czech Sport Aircraft. In Europe the Sport Cruiser is identified as the PS-28 Cruiser.

Matthew explained the reason for the difference in names is due to the different rules and regulations that each aircraft has to be certified under. Matthew went on to say that both aircraft feature the same materials and construction with the only noticeable difference being in the type of avionics used.

Matthew also went on to say that because of the additional time it takes to go through European certification, changes to the SportCruiser/PS-28 Cruiser normally happen in Europe first and then are introduced into the U.S. model.

Czech Sport Aircraft sat down with their U.S. distributors late last year to discuss things that needed to be addressed on the SportCruiser. The major thing that came out of those meetings was the need to increase the payload of the aircraft. With that in mind the SportCruiser has "undergone a weight reduction program" to increase the useful load.

In 2013 two models of the SportCruiser will be available, one all decked out with all the bells and whistles including a BRS parachute system for individual owners, and a deluxe model for flight schools and those on tighter budgets. Sales in the U.S. have been brisk with Matthew reporting that seventeen SportCruiser aircraft have been delivered to U.S. customers since the first of the year.

The SportCruiser model was introduced in 2009 and there are currently over 500 aircraft of the SportCruiser design flying worldwide.
