About the CTLS

The Flight Design CTLS is a fixed-wing, type-certificated aircraft featuring a single engine and seating for two occupants. It is designed to cater to private pilots and flight schools seeking a modern, light composite airframe for touring and training purposes.

Throughout its production history, the aircraft has undergone numerous type certificate expansions covering alternative engine installations, specialized propellers, and structural refinements. It has also received approvals for towing banners and gliders, with its maximum permissible never-exceed speed varying depending on the specific model of ballistic parachute rescue system installed.

{# the label links to these aircraft for sale, built in that span. On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear. A band cached before year_min existed renders as plain text rather than a link to an unfiltered list. #}
