SportCruiser light sport aircraft, Sport Cruiser (PiperSport) lsa.

While at the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo I had the opportunity to interview Don Ayers of U. S. Sport Aircraft (USSA) the U.S. representative for the Sport Cruiser. Since the inception of the light sport aircraft rule in the U.S. the Sport Cruiser has been one of the lead aircraft in sales year to year.

For a short time Piper took the craft and rebranded it as the Piper Sport.

During this period of time a U.S. dealer and service network was set up for the plane. When Piper decided to focus on other aspects of the aviation marketplace, Don and his group and U.S. Sport Aircraft put all time and effort that Piper had invested in the project, and continued on down the same road.

 
The Sport Cruiser continues to have 10 dealers U.S. wide for sales and service of the aircraft, as well as assembly centers, one located in Fort Pierce, Florida center the other in Dallas Texas. Don indicates that U.S. Sport Aircraft has a full inventory of parts in the U.S. to support the dealer network. Don points out "what a lot of people don't realize is that the Sport Cruiser was a successful aircraft before Piper got involved, continued to be successful while Piper was involved, and continues to sell well now!"

At the U.S. Sport Aviation Expo U.S. Sport Aircraft had on display and were flying their latest models the Sport Cruiser Classic which comes equipped with a "six pack" of traditional round analog instruments located directly on the panel in front of the pilot. This allows the pilot to do a quick glance over them and receive information quickly and easily.

This plane is designed specifically for the flight school market, and is priced for that market at $119,900.00 ready to fly. Don indicates that he is noticing a lot of interest not only from flight schools, but from older pilots, who learned to fly with analog gauges, and are not interested in "going back to school" to learn how to fly a glass panel equipped aircraft. However I had to note that Don also had on display a full glass panel equipped Sport Cruiser as well.
