Test Pilot, Tony Morris and GippsAero Flight Test Engineer, Gerhard Jordaan took the first flight in the GA10 for this unforgettable event. Once airborne, the GA10 circled the airport a number of times for about 20 minutes in addition to one near to the ground approach including a go-around.

“The triumphant trial flight of the GA 10 symbolizes an additional milestone achieved for Mahindra Aerospace following the launch of the NM5 in September last year and places India on the global aviation map. Powering the GA10 is a Rolls Royce 250 turbo-prop engine, which holds a distinctive position in the market and will go well with an extensive number of functions from commuter and cargo work to sky survey and inspection roles and I am certain that users will opt the GA 10 as a scaleable feasible, multi function aircraft with the benefits of turbo prop technology. We plan to launch the GA 10 in India soon as well,” said Mr. Hemant Luthra, President, Mahindra Systech.

Arvind Mehra, Executive Director and CEO of Mahindra Aerospace said “We are tremendously pompous about the success of first flight of the first turbo-prop. It is one more important objective in the direction of accomplishing our ambition of delivering a family of feasible utility aircraft to the aviation industry.”

CEO of GippsAero, Dr Terry Miles, said on the occasion, “The GA10 will fetch an entry level turbo-prop utility aircraft to the mainstream industry allowing users to take the not negligible step of drifting from piston to turbo-prop power. The estimated low purchase price and low running costs of the GA10, in addition to its great adaptability, will give users a commercially feasible, multi function turbo-prop aircraft.”

With the conclusion of the debut flight, the GippsAero engineering team will issue the prototype to a concentrated program of standing and air tests to receive a CASA Type Certificate for the GA 10. It can be predicted that the fresh variety will be on hand for customer delivery in the first half of 2013.
