Flight Design CTLS with Deluxe Garmin G3X

Leinfelden-Echterdingen, GERMANY / 20 July 2011- When the economy is dragging, leaders sharpen their pencils to keep aircraft affordable. No one questions how difficult the last three years have been for aviation in all sectors so buyers are likely to embrace major price reductions.

Thanks to innovative thinking between leaders at Flight Design and Garmin, we are pleased to announce Garmin G3X Special Pricing, available at the start of AirVenture 2011, stated John Doman, Director of Business Development, Global Sales & Marketing for Flight Design. "This is really more akin to price slashing!"

The Garmin G3X Special Pricing Package offers a retail price of only $9,980; previously it was $27,795. The SL40 radio is now part of package instead of SL30 though the SL30 remains available as option at additional cost. Finally, the Special Pricing Package installs a TruTrak 2.25-inch back-up attitude director indicator (ADI); the TruTrak back-up battery supply to the ADI has been deleted from the package. For a complete description of the Garmin G3X Special Pricing, see the chart in the attached document.

"We are confident this greatly increased value will boost sales of the Garmin G3X package and make our market-leading CTLS affordable to more customers," reported Flight Design GmbH CEO, Matthias Betsch.

Flight Design is a 24-year-old manufacturer based in Germany. The company remains the worldwide market leader thanks to its well-received CT series of light aircraft. More than 1,700 of these aircraft are flying in 40 countries. One of the first aircraft certified under ASTM International standards in 2005, the CT ("composite technology") remains the top-selling LSA in America through six consecutive years. Flight Design sold the first LSA to India and was the first LSA to earn Chinese Type Design Approval. Three times a CT has been flown around the world.
