Aerotrek A240 Light Sport Aircraft Aircraft Review
Aerotrek has steadily risen from an unknown brand to the #9 position in the all-time-fleet market share.
The brand is one of only ten that have registered more than 100 aircraft in the United States. Excellent prices help but that’s not the whole story.
You hear about some of the top brands all the time but Aerotrek is a hare-and-tortoise story where steady progress wins over flashier marketing and wow features. At the heart of this success is Rob Rollison, arguably one of the most experienced men in the LSA space.
Pilots Like ’em Big — It seems pilots love an ever-bigger engine. …or ever-bigger digital screens. …or ever-bigger cockpits. Indeed, pilots may like all those things bigger but tires go right along with the big thing. If “tundra” tires are good, then “Alaska” tires are better, and even bigger Alaska tires are just right.
