Airgyro of Spanish Fork, Utah, intends to focus on the fun and affordability of sport aviation and turn out some sport pilots in as few as 15 days. The company has alliances with Higher Class Aviation, which produces a two-seat tandem light sport aircraft and Australian Light Wing, which produces the Outback SP2000, but it also distributes the Sportcopter 2 gyrocopter. Pricing of aircraft sold by Airgyro starts at $65,000 “for a very well equipped machine,” says the company. Airgyro’s programs include financing options and insurance, plus fight training and “ongoing support.” The company says it wants to bring aviation to a new generation that may have thought recreational flying was simply out of economic reach. Airgyro also offers training “that can go far beyond the Sport Pilot certificate for those pilots interested in pursuing more advanced training and commercial opportunities.
