Timeline: Tuesday 7-22-25, Oshkosh WI Some are billing it as a “Seismic Change for GA” According to new announcements by the FAA, our entire family of single engine aircraft will be eligible in the Light Sport category. This will open the door for more pilots to be able to enjoy the Grumman brand of aviation enjoyment! We have not fully digested the entire 717 page rule but if you are looking for more details and like getting them from the source you can find the rule here: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/MOSAIC_Final_Rule_Issuance.pdf

We anticipate that this will open the door for practical modernization and improvements for our aircraft.

Is this the dawn of a new day for General Aviation? Stay tuned.

Jaguar cowl – Almost there.

True Flight has thousands of NOS parts available for the fleet.   Now we are pleased to announce that TFA has received our FAA Parts Manufacturing Authorization (PMA) and will be steadily increasing the availability of commonly and specialty parts for the Grumman line.

We now have the Cheetah carburetor duct part number 5503004-2.  This supersedes the 5503004-1.  The retooled duct has improvements to make it more durable.

We also have both 14v and 28v fuel boost pumps available for the entire fleet. The 14v pump now uses the modernized electronic regulated design already present in the 28v pump and replaces the old mechanically regulated pump.  It is a direct replacement with no changes in wiring or plumbing.

• The part number for the 14v pump is ES2100-4.
• The part number for the 28v pump is ES2100-2.

These numbers supersede all earlier numbers found in parts books or online.

Let’s clear up some confusion about these pumps. Occasionally we find uncertified “box store” pumps on certified aircraft.  This is extremely risky. There is a more in depth explanation of the importance for the correct pump in the “Latest News” tab.

We will be steadily adding additional new parts to our catalog as we determine the need. Contact us at 229-242-6337 or email Info@TrueFlightAerospace.com to order.

We are excited to show off our fuel injected Tiger.  So far the IO-360 promises to improve efficiency and overall performance.  We have been very pleased by the low fuel consumption numbers we have able to attain and the overall performance improvements.  It is hard to squeeze much more efficiency out of such an outstanding airframe design but this engine is doing it.

Besides the excitement of having the IO-360 fuel injected Tiger in the works, we are currently in ongoing discussions with several investor groups that are interested in supporting our efforts to bring the Tiger back to market and expand support for the nearly 5000 aircraft on both Type Certificates in the “Grumman” fleet.

Special thanks to Steve Justice, Amy Hudnall (pictured above right of tiger), and Gary O’Neill from the Georgia Center for Innovation in Aerospace, and Adon Clark and his team from Middle Georgia College for making us feel at home and for their commitment to making Georgia the best place in the world for aviation development.

As a housekeeping matter, we are putting a list of email addresses together of Grumman owners so that we can share ongoing airworthiness and technical information from time to time.  Please shoot us an email so we will have your contact information.

We’ll see you soon!

Thank you,

Kevin Lancaster and The True Flight Team
