About the Flight Design CT series

The Flight Design CT is a German-designed, two-seat light sport aircraft that became one of the best-selling LSA models in the United States following the category's introduction in 2004. Built with a composite fuselage and high wing configuration, the CT series, including the CTLS (light sport) and CTSW (sport wing) variants, offered recreational pilots an efficient, modern alternative to traditional trainers like the Cessna 152, with cruise speeds around 120 knots on just 5 gallons per hour. The aircraft's sleek design and side-by-side seating made it popular among flight schools and private owners seeking an economical platform that still delivered responsive handling and excellent visibility.

Manufactured initially in Ukraine and later in Germany, the CT pioneered the use of advanced composites in the LSA market, featuring a carbon fiber wing and a ballistic parachute recovery system as standard equipment, a safety feature that became increasingly common across the light sport category. The type's 1,320-pound maximum takeoff weight sits precisely at the LSA limit, and its Rotax 912-series engine provides reliable power while maintaining the fuel efficiency that made these aircraft attractive for both training and personal cross-country flying. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with among the observed operators.
