SportStar RTC

The Aircraft for Aeroclubs

The SportStar RTC designed for daily operation in clubs and flight schools has a modern durable airframe, excellent flight characteristics, easy maintenance and low operating costs. During operation you will especially appreciate the reliable Rotax engine, which has low fuel consumption and saves costs through automotive fuel usage.

Excellent Flight Characteristics

The SportStar RTC is an easy to fly aircraft with outstanding control harmonies, sensitive to the pilot´s commands at both high and low speeds and with uncompromising stability during flight. These characteristics make the SportStar RTC a favourite of both students and CFIs.

Modern Design

The SportStar RTC design is based on the EASA JAR-VLA certified aircraft and reflects the latest development in design, safety and cockpit comfort found in modern light sport aircrafts. The useful load being the largest in its category and a flying range of up to 1 300 km make the SportStar RTC the perfect aircraft for tourism and travel.

Robust Metal Airframe

The SportStar RTC has a robust anodized and corrosion-proof metal airframe. All structural joints are riveted and adhesively bonded to reach enhanced fatigue life. Excellent strength and reliability of the SportStar has been proven during flight school operations worldwide.

Low Operating Costs

The SportStar RTC was designed to have low operating costs, easy maintenance and to meet the operation specifics of flight schools. A low fuel consumption of 15 l per hour on average and easy maintenance has cut operating costs in half compared to conventional training aircraft.

Night Operation Certified

The SportStar RTC is EASA certified for VFR Day & Night Operation, extending pilot training to Night rating with significant cost reduction of training courses and enabling aircraft day & night operation to private pilots.

Parachute Rescue System

The SportStar RTC design meets the highest safety standards of General Aviation. Further enhancements of safety features also include an optional parachute rescue system.

The comfortable and spacious cockpit of a stylish arrangement, state-of-the art avionics and an outstanding all-round cockpit view will keep you relaxed both during training and cross country flights. The SportStar RTC cockpit has shoulder room of 1.18 m (more than Cessna / Piper four seaters), providing enough space even for taller pilots.

The stylish cockpit is equipped with comfortable seating, adjustable pedals, upholstered arm rests, bottle holders and an efficient heating and ventilation system. An almost 360° all-round view provides you the perfect cockpit view and situational awareness during all phases of flight.

"The Evektor SportStar is an exceptional product. It provides my students an excellent training platform. The Evektor SportStar is a very strong platform that is built to last even in the harsh environment of flight training. The SportStar has low operating costs and performs well in my FAA certified FAR Part 141 training program operated by Aviation Sales Inc. in Springboro Ohio."

"Our flight school has been successfully operating for almost 5 years with Evektor SportStar airplanes. We tested several other light sport airplanes before we made the decision on which airplane would be the best for flight training. The decision to go with Evektor SportStar was based on these preferences: excellent handling characteristics and performance."

"We have now operated 6 of these aeroplanes over the last 9 years in ab-initio training in our busy little flying school here in South Australia.  The fleet hours are now in an excess of 20,000 with an estimate of 100,000 landings. The airframes continue to be amazingly robust with only minor issues with structure around the main gear attachments.  Routine maintenance has been exactly that routine (mostly engine related)! The new canopy design is simply leagues ahead and has worked faultlessly for us. Nose leg as always with any nosewheel aircraft is an area of high stress and wear, the SportStar has proved more durable than most with only the wear parts, bushes etc. needing to be replaced. WE still have no hesitation in recommending the SportStar to anyone, it is a great trainer."

"In 2005 I made a decision to purchase the Evektor SportStar. In January of 2006 I ordered my first SportStar and put it to work in the flight school. We put 700 hours on that aircraft in less than a year. That SportStar was very popular with flight instructors because of the ease of training pilots in an aircraft with such great flying characteristics. The students liked the aircraft not only because of the ease of operation but also for the attractive styling and comfort of the SportStar. I liked it because of the economical operation and minimal maintenance requirements.
