Oshkosh, July 28, 2009 – The ICON Aircraft A5 completed its Phase I testing with the Becker Avionics AR4201 Transceiver and ATC4401 Transponder on board. ICON chose the Becker combination due to its small dimensions, light weight, low power consumption and outstanding performance. The prototype was flown from minimum weight to gross weight in various sea states from glassy water to 9 inch waves.

The Phase II flight testing will begin immediately according to ICON Aircraft and with the goal to refine the aerodynamics and handling qualities to improve the plane’s efficiency. Flight testing of the prototype is scheduled to continue throughout 2009.
