The Super Petrel LS is an amphibious biplane with flight qualities of a low wing, cruise speed of a regular upper wing, easy and safe flying. It has robust structure and corrosion resistance and simplicity of systems. The Super Petrel LS utilizes the Rotax engine model 912 iS with digital panel. I often field the question of "why do aircraft cost so much"?
There is a good answer to this question when you begin to examine all the components involved. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Super Petrel announces new 400 Series light sport aircraft for 2021. Nearly twenty years ago, the Super Petrel was introduced in Brazil. In 2014, the aircraft received S-LSA approval from the FAA.

Testimonials
Report
I recently purchased a previously owned Super Petrel Turbo. I located this aircraft on Trade-A-Plane and contacted the seller in Virginia. Even though I did not make my purchase from Super Petrel USA in Ormond Beach, Florida, I was immediately contacted by them and welcomed to the Super Petrel family.
