Emivest Aerospace Corporation (EAC) is pleased to announce that SJ30, serial number 008, took to the skies during its production flight checks over Texas. This marks a significant step in moving forward with production and establishing a regular delivery schedule.

We completed the items on the flight test card as planned including tests for handling qualities, stability and control and selected critical systems.” John Siemens commented. Joe Gullion, Emivest COO, looks forward to delivery of the aircraft to the customer “Our customer is very excited about receiving his aircraft. We are happy that all of the hard work and planning is finally paying off resulting in the flight of serial number 008.” He adds “We have moved aircraft in flow behind 008 and look forward to beginning to deliver aircraft on a regular basis.”

Serial number 008 will continue on through it productions checks, and then be delivered to Jet Works Air Center in Denton, Texas for the completion of paint and numerous optional equipment installations including HF radio, Garmin 500, XM radio/weather, Alto speaker system, cockpit voice recorder, and a cabin entertainment system.
