Elixir Aircraft, a French manufacturer of training aircraft, has just been certified by the CAA (UK Civil Aviation Authority). Already certified by the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) in the CS-23 category (aircraft from 2 to 19 seats), the Elixir can now be operated under UK registration.

The Elixir can now be registered in the United Kingdom

The CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) granted its certification to Elixir Aircraft. This new approval authorises Elixir Aircraft to deliver aircraft that are immediately operable in flight schools in the United Kingdom.

Some thirty Elixir aircraft are already in operation at French flight schools, including Airbus Flight Academy, others have been ordered by European pilot schools (Portugal, Spain, Greece, etc.).

British school Leading Edge Aviation is the latest customer to place an order at the beginning of October 2024 for its Spanish base. Other UK operators will be delivered very shortly.

Following this second certification, Elixir Aircraft is pursuing certification procedures all over the world, with priority given to FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) approval, eagerly awaited by American customers who account for nearly 300 lines in the order book.
