Sporty's Pilot Shop again teams up with Cessna Aircraft Company and Garmin to award a customer a brand new Cessna 162 SkyCatcher equipped with Garmin G300 avionics for its 2010 Sweepstakes.
Though manufactured as an LSA, the entry-level Cessna SkyCatcher meets all the required ASTM standards for certification while providing safety, reliability, and utility.
Cessna is planning initial deliveries this fall so the Sporty's SkyCatcher Sweepstakes airplane will be one of the first chances for customers to see this aircraft. In addition to the proprietary Garmin G300 avionics package, thrust is provided by a composite propeller mated to the Continental O-200D engine developed specifically for the Light Sport market. Its 44-inch-wide cabin, ergonomic seats, accessible cargo area — and a unique under panel center stick control — are backed by an extensive network of dealers and service centers.
"We chose the SkyCatcher for our next Sweepstakes because it is the ultimate personal airplane," says Sporty's President Michael Wolf. "Plus, its glass panel avionics makes the airplane state of the art."
Any order placed with Sporty’s until May 10, 2010, will enter the customer as a potential winner of the Sweepstakes airplane. The winner will be officially announced at Sporty's annual Fly-In, scheduled for May 15, 2010.
This brand-new SkyCatcher will mark the 28th aircraft awarded in Sporty's annual Sweepstakes. Every year since 1986 Sporty's has awarded at least one airplane to a customer.
