*Estimated direct operating cost at ~$6.50/gal. DW200 member rate reflects the Fleet program + Rotax Engine Program; competitors are self-funded, and none offer a comparable program. Three of these share the same 100 hp Rotax 912 family, so fuel burn is nearly identical; the turbocharged Cirrus burns more. Competitor pricing/specs per manufacturer; TRAC10 deliveries from 2027.
The only trainer under $200,000 with a whole-airframe parachute standard — and the only one where maintenance labor and the engine overhaul are pre-paid and capped. The closest comparable, the Cirrus TRAC10, costs nearly three times as much.
WHY BELMONT USA
We don't just sell the airplane. We keep your fleet flying.
Most imported trainers leave you on your own — parts ship from overseas, and no one nearby is certified to touch them. Belmont USA is different: your aircraft, your service center, and your parts department are all in one place, in Florida.
In-house service center
We maintain your fleet ourselves; never routed to a third party.
Rotax iRMT-certified technicians
Factory-trained on your engines.
LSRM-certified maintenance
Qualified to sign off your S-LSA fleet.
US parts inventory
Common parts stocked in Florida, with no weeks-long waits from Europe.
Ferry service
We pick up and return aircraft for scheduled work in North and Central Florida.
Fleet service programs
Predictable monthly support through the plans below.
When an airplane is down, it isn't earning. We built our service center so yours stays on the flight line.
