The improved specifications will be part of the aircraft’s imminent US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification. The aircraft is making its European debut at the EBACE show in Geneva.

The flight test program for the Latitude began with its first flight in February 2014. Since then, the program has grown to include four test aircraft that have flown 690 flights and amassed 1,700 flight hours.
