10 REASONS why the SportCruiser is the BEST FUN aircraft.

I’ve had a few types of aircraft over the years, and they all have their good and bad points but today I want to tell you about the ten things I love about the little PS28 or SportCruiser or Pipersport :-)

The SportCruiser is a Czech designed all metal 2 seater low wing aircraft fitted with either the 100 horse power Rotax 912ULS or the 120 horse power Jabiru 3000 engine. In the UK it can be supplied as a kit for home building under the LAA Permit system or as a certified factory built aircraft under EASA’s CS-LSA Light Sport Aeroplane category or in the case of our factory built Pipersport variant, the CAA’s Part 21 aircraft.

I think the SportCruiser is one of the best LSA types and in this video I tell you why.

My name is Terry Kent and I am a General Aviation PPL private pilot operating out of North Weald EGSX about 12 miles to the north east of London in the UK. Short Field is my channel focused on the lighter side of General Aviation including flight and airfield reviews, equipment unboxing and review plus all things private pilot related. I use various cameras to record my videos including GoPro and Insta 360 and stills and edit them in Adobe Premiere Pro, I am an animator as well and often use animations to describe situations more clearly I use Blender and Adobe After Effects for these. I always attempt to post my videos in the highest possible quality, normally 4k.

I fly a 2011 Pipersport two seat single engine aircraft that is also known as the PS28 or SportCruiser in the USA (America) it is know under the FAA as an LSA or Light Sport Aircraft and can be flown on a very basic license. In the UK it is a Part 21 airplane which requires a full licence but it's generally cheap to run, affordable maintenance and great value for money. It cruises at 100 to 105 knots and has superb short take off and landing or STOL capabilities. I visit farm strips, back country and short airfields, some of them dangerous and I try not to crash :-), as well as international airports and try to learn something new every time I fly.

I fly VFR and IFR as well as visual and instrument approaches.

My videos may give helpful information to pilots but please remember these are just for entertainment, I am not an instructor nor should anything shown in my videos be used for real world aviation, also the airfields I visit may have totally changed or even closed since the making of the video so always consult the latest information for your country.
