Flight Design F2

Overview

• Flight Design, a European company that has sold some 900 of its CT series of light sport aircraft, has added a new brand to its offerings: the F series. Now the first of the series, the F2, is being shipped to the United States. Initially, the F2 will be certified as an S-LSA under ASTM International standards, but by 2021 the airplane is set to earn Part 23, Level 1 certification under newly reformed, internationally standardized guidelines. This will allow the airplane to fly under instrument flight rules—and eventually, in instrument weather. This would greatly expand its utility and capability as a trainer.
