About our Aircraft

Welcome to N299X.

This Aerotrek A240 is a 2011 model that represents everything simple, honest flying is supposed to be. Lightweight, responsive, and free from unnecessary complexity, it’s the kind of airplane that puts the focus back where it belongs—on flying.

Powered by the Rotax 912 engine, the A240 is efficient, reliable, and well-proven across the light aircraft world. With a strong track record in both training and recreational flying, the 912 has built a reputation for smooth operation, fuel efficiency, and dependable performance. It’s widely trusted in the light sport and experimental community, with thousands of aircraft operating safely and consistently behind it.

The A240’s short-field capability and low operating weight make it especially well-suited for operations out of a private grass strip like IN37. Takeoffs and landings feel light, precise, and connected to the environment in a way that’s hard to replicate with larger aircraft.

N299X has been well cared for and maintained to a high standard. It’s not about flashy avionics or overcomplication—it’s about a clean, dialed-in airplane that flies the way it should. The kind of airplane you can trust and actually enjoy.

Whether you’e time building, or working towards the next rating, or just enjoying the view, the Aerotrek A240 delivers something that’s getting harder to find—pure, stick-and-rudder flying. This aircraft is a great platform to learn the fundamentals of flying and enjoy every step of the way!
