Piper Aircraft, Inc. is proud to announce the delivery of four new Piper Pilot 100i aircraft to Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in Melbourne, Florida. These four aircraft are part of the eight scheduled for delivery this year. Florida Tech currently operates an all-Piper fleet of Archers, Seminoles, and Warriors.
“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,” said Dr. John Nicklow, President of Florida Tech. “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, had the opportunity to experience the aircraft firsthand. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the aircraft’s ease of flight, user-friendly design, and impressive avionics.
“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,” stated Ron Gunnarson, VP of Marketing, Sales & Customer Support. “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.”
