Flight Design Ct2k

Single Piston

The Flight Design CT is a German-designed two-seat ultralight and light-sport aircraft that became one of the world's best-selling LSA models following its introduction in the late 1990s. Built with a composite fuselage and high wing configuration, the CT series pioneered the modern European ultralight aesthetic: sleek, efficient, and optimized for the 600 kg (1,320 lb) maximum weight limits that define both US light-sport and European ultralight categories. Its side-by-side seating, excellent visibility, and docile handling made it popular with flight schools and private owners across Europe and North America. The CT's Rotax 912-series engine delivers cruise speeds around 115 knots while sipping fuel at roughly 4 gallons per hour, and its stall speed below 40 knots keeps it accessible to low-time pilots. Flight Design produced thousands of CT variants (including the CTSW, CTLS, and CT2K) before financial restructuring in the 2010s, but the type remains a common sight at grass strips and LSA fields. SkyMeter has tracked 7 flights across 2 airframes and 1 operators, covering routes.

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.
