    With ASTM Certification in hand, Texas Aircraft Manufacturing can now begin full production

     

    and commence deliveries of its new-generation Colt Light Sport Aircraft.

    Hondo, TX (September 24, 2019) — Texas Aircraft Manufacturing announced today that the

    Hondo, Texas-based company has received full FAA ASTM (American Society for Testing and

    Standards) Certification for its new-generation Colt Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA).

    “Words cannot describe how it feels to have received the ASTM certification. The entire Texas

    Aircraft team has worked very long and hard to achieve this single goal,” Texas Aircraft

    Manufacturing’s co-founder, Matheus Grande said. “Receiving this document is truly a dream

    come true for everyone on our team. We are so proud and grateful, but the honor and glory of this

    achievement is to our God.”

    “After a very successful introduction at Oshkosh AirVenture 2019, we have continued to see

    increasing interest from prospective buyers as well as flight schools,” Texas Aircraft

    Manufacturing’s co-founder, Caio Jordão said. “We are extremely thankful that so many people

    continue to tell us how much they love, not only how the Colt looks, but how well it flies.”

    “The new-generation Colt delivers on everything that was promised when the LSA category was

    originally introduced – it’s easy to fly, easy to maintain and priced to make the dream of personal

    aircraft ownership a reality for a wide variety of pilots,” Grande said.

    The factory-built Colt Special Light Sport Aircraft (S-LSA) is produced by Texas Aircraft at its

    Hondo, Texas production facility and is delivered to customers ready to fly. Because of its S-LSA

    classification, the Colt can be maintained by either a licensed FAA mechanic or a technician

    holding a current FAA LSA maintenance rating.
