ICAO FA24 Light Piston

Flight Design Ct2k

Single Piston

The Flight Design CT is a German-designed, two-seat light sport aircraft that became one of the best-selling LSA models worldwide following the category's introduction in 2004. Built with composite construction and featuring a distinctive high-wing configuration with full-span flaperons, the CT series pioneered the modern LSA market with its combination of efficient cruise performance and docile handling characteristics. The aircraft's 100-horsepower Rotax 912 engine delivers cruise speeds around 115 knots while maintaining the fuel efficiency and operating economics that define the light sport category. With a maximum takeoff weight precisely at the 1,320-pound LSA limit, the CT optimizes useful load within regulatory constraints, making it popular for both flight training and personal recreation. The type's wide cabin, excellent visibility, and relatively benign stall characteristics contributed to its adoption by flight schools across North America and Europe. SkyMeter has tracked 30 flights across 7 airframes and 5 operators, with ROCKYS FLYING SERVICE LLC the largest observed operator.

Safety in context

The incident rate counts flights with ANY safety event detected by SkyMeter: go-arounds (a routine response, not a failure), unstable-approach gate flags (advisory thresholds), rejected takeoffs (the system working as designed), and runway events. It is NOT an accident rate or fatality rate. For accident statistics, refer to the NTSB Aviation Accident Database (USA) or the Aviation Safety Network. See methodology for what each event type measures.
