Key Takeaways:

  • Evolution Aircraft, which separated from Lancair International less than two years ago, has ceased operations, leaving over 85 aircraft owners without manufacturer support.
  • Elite Pilot Services (EPS) has stepped in to launch the Evolution Service Network (ESN), offering a comprehensive support solution for Evolution aircraft owners.
  • For an annual fee of $5,000, ESN provides members with technical and maintenance advice, ensures parts availability, offers AOG support, implements a safety management system, and includes two days of recurrent training.

Less than two years after Evolution Aircraft separated from the Lancair International brand, the company has shut its doors. When a manufacturer goes out of business, aircraft owners are generally left high and dry until the company’s assets are bought up by someone willing to take on the project and the liability that comes along with it. But the 85-plus Evolution owners have been afforded a solution.
