Firefly T67 Service and Support 

Swift Aircraft has taken over the support and service provision for the Slingsby Firefly T67. This follows the revocation of the Type Certificate on 13th May 2019 and the issue of EASA Specific Airworthiness Specification No. EASA.SAS.A.390. 

We are currently in the process of transferring relevant design information, moulds and jigs from Marshalls in respect of the ongoing support for the T67 and we are in communication with EASA and the CAA to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.  This will allow owners and to operate their aircraft without disturbance.

Swift Aircraft will not own the Type Certificate for the aircraft because a surrendered Type Certificate cannot be reversed, however the ownership of the original design data will enable the company to supply original parts or provide alternatives through the established STC process.

The Swift group has a well-established link to the Slingsby T67 – it already currently provides support to many UK-based T67 aircraft and previously supported the Royal Jordanian Air Force T67 fleet prior to their replacement with Grob 120TP aircraft. The company was also responsible for the refurbishment of 22 Slingsby T67M260 aircraft after their retirement from UK MOD EFTS service, and these can now be found flying in numerous countries around the globe.

David Stanbridge, Managing Director of Swift Aircraft is himself the proud owner of a Slingsby T67M200 and M260 and has enjoyed many hours piloting this type of aircraft, so he understands perfectly the need to ensure the service provision is seamless.
