With ASTM Certification in hand, Texas Aircraft Manufacturing can now begin full production and commence deliveries of its new-generation Colt Light Sport Aircraft.

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, 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.
