Piper Aircraft delivers four Pilot 100i Aircraft to Florida Tech, enhances Training program with advanced Avionics.
Piper Aircraft is pleased to announce the delivery of four new Piper Pilot 100i aircraft to the Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in Melbourne, Florida. These aircraft are part of a total of eight scheduled for delivery this year. Currently, Florida Tech operates an all-Piper fleet, including Archers, Seminoles, and Warriors.
Dr. John Nicklow, President of Florida Tech, said, “At Florida Tech, our students learn by doing, and we are eager to get them into the cockpits of these cutting-edge Piper Pilots to start learning with our amazing flight instructors. What makes all of this even more meaningful is that a dozen of our alumni working at Piper helped build these planes. It’s a high-flying example of the power of a Florida Tech education in action.”
During an open house at Florida Tech last year, the Piper team conducted a full day of demonstration flights with the Pilot 100i. Florida Tech representatives, including student pilots and certified flight instructors, experienced the aircraft firsthand. The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive. The representatives highlighted the aircraft’s ease of flight, user-friendly design, and impressive avionics.
Ron Gunnarson, VP of Marketing, Sales & Customer Support, said, “It’s an honor to continue supplying planes to our long-term Flight School Alliance member, Florida Tech. Their program is one of the best, and we know from firsthand experience as we have multiple Florida tech graduates working at the Piper factory. We are proud that Piper trainers are known for their ease of use and reliability, and we know that is what makes us the top choice for flight schools’ training needs, in addition to our outstanding customer support.”
