Remos Aircraft

This week Remos AG, the German light airplane manufacturer, delivered its first GXiS. The two-seat airplane, which is designed to ease the pilot’s workload, went to UTC Flugschule at the Schoenberg Airport (EDPK) in southeastern Germany, a flight school and Remos dealer that has been in operation for more than 40 years. “The GXiS, with […]

The dwindling remnants of a glorious afternoon sun were disappearing beneath the horizon as I turned the Remos GXiS off the tiny runway at Flugplatz Pasewalk in far northeast Germany. With two hours of fuel remaining in the 22-gallon tank, my first inclination was to simply turn around and blow another hour or so in […]

The German-designed Remos GXiS, which first flew at the end of May, has made it to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, for the EAA AirVenture migration. Remos is working on European approval as a CS-LSA and ultralight for the GXiS, as well as LSA ASTM-approval in the United States. Not only the airplane itself is German; the engine […]

You may recall a German company called Remos — a manufacturer that arrived on the U.S. LSA scene early with several airplane offerings that had previously been available as ultralights in Europe. The company was forced to reorganize in 2014, and its future was questionable. However, Remos is now coming back in full force with […]

Wow, what an eye opener! Last night I completed 1.4 hours of my 3-hour night flight-training requirement for the private certificate, single-engine rating, with First Landings Aviation CFI Chris Esposito. I shot 8 full-stop landings in the Remos GX, leaving the last two of the 10 required for my dual cross-country night flight. All I […]

The Sport Pilot certificate turned out to be my perfect re-entry to flying. Here’s how it worked for me. Would it work for you?

(March 2011) — I’M ONE OF THOSE people you might have heard about who’ve made their first certificate a Sport Pilot certificate. I wasn’t new to flying either. I had taken a break from the beginnings of a passion that, as a teenager, I thought would blossom soon enough. The day of my first solo […]

This past weekend I called upon a friend (who happens to be a private pilot working toward his instrument rating) and invited him to join me for a late afternoon leisure flight in the Remos G3. He would be my third passenger since certification. Admittedly, it’s more fun for me to have someone along so […]

During one of my Sport Pilot lessons with First Landings Aviation’s Chris Esposito, we had just finished up practicing stalls and steep turns off the north shore of Lake Apopka on yet another gorgeous morning. I had been wondering when we would be practicing engine-out scenarios and asked Chris out of curiosity if one of […]

Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) manufacturer Remos of Germany has received an investment shot in the arm, and plans to make announcements at this year’s EAA AirVenture on how it intends to use the cash. A spokesman declined to attach a dollar figure, but said the influx is “significant” and will support business development over the […]
