At the end of January 2020, Poland-based Flaris will commence a factory test programme for its Flaris LAR1 aircraft, which it plans to complete by the end of the third quarter of the year.

Another unit, no. 005, upgraded with a new generation of autopilot manufactured by Genesys Aerosystems, will begin ground tests in March. In combination with Flaris' proprietary OPV technology and its FFAS onboard computer, this guarantees a new level of flight safety among general aviation aircraft. The FFAS supports and automates the procedures of aircraft testing, starting, flight and landing at any aviation club airport.

Flaris developed the FFAS automatic take off and landing system in 2017 as part of the Flaris MALE programme, thanks to the support of NCRD (INNOSBZ). It has been testing the FFAS system since then.

In spring 2020, the manufacturer will showcase an aircraft equipped with these solutions.
