We plan to have the XT 582 and 912 Tug certified to US Sport Pilot early 2008. This means US flight parks will have a "legal" tug which will allow them to to continue operating their flight parks in 2008. Airborne have been building tugs for aerotowing since the mid 1980's and compliance is just a formality as the aircraft itself is already sold in 30 odd countries. After Sport Pilot approval for our tugs we will then go for Section S approval which will open up other countries we can supply tugs to including the UK.
