About the Lancair-Cessna Lancair LC-40 Columbia 300

The Colt 3 is a light-sport aircraft designed to meet the FAA's LSA weight and performance criteria, offering recreational pilots an accessible entry point into powered flight. Built by Colt Aircraft, this single-engine design emphasizes simplicity and economy, with a maximum takeoff weight at the 1,320-pound LSA threshold and straightforward handling characteristics suited to fair-weather flying and local pattern work.

Like most light-sport designs, the Colt 3 operates well below the performance envelope of certified general aviation aircraft, with a never-exceed speed around 120 knots and stall speeds in the mid-30-knot range. Its low operating costs and minimal regulatory burden make it popular among sport pilots and flight schools focused on ab-initio training under Sport Pilot rules. The type's modest cruise speed and limited payload reflect its mission: short hops, pattern work, and recreational cross-country flights within a few hundred miles.

SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
