So, what is the ideal training aircraft to satisfy the demands of modern-day, high flight time, fixed-wing flight school operations? Well, that depends.
Legacy 60-70s era C172 / PA28 used to be that aircraft. However, the goalposts have moved considerably with today’s demanding flight training requirements. To a point where the typical legacy aircraft of the past can no longer meet these requirements and the call for modern-day equipment is now a necessity.
Enter the new Sling NGT! Based on the tried and tested Sling 2 which has been plying its trade in flight schools both locally and internationally over the past 10 years, collectively these Slings have logged thousands of hours in this environment with some aircraft now exceeding 6,000 hours of abuse. The Sling NGT is an evolution of the brand designed to satisfy the demands of modern-day flight school operations.
Team Sling will be camping out from next Friday to Sunday, 6th to 8th March, for a full weekend of flying, demos, good company, and proper aviation vibes. We’re bringing the Sling TSi and Sling High Wing along for demo flights on Friday, 6th March — so if you’re serious about owning your own Sling, this is your chance to experience the difference firsthand. From STOL competitions and spot landings to skydivers, hot air balloons, Harvards, workshops and yes… the Sling pool is coming too, so pack those cozzies😉 — it’s going to be aviation heaven.
