The aircraft experienced funding delays until it was acquired by CAIGA in 2011, leading to its FAA type certification in October 2016. Deliveries commenced that year, and the Vision SF50 emerged as the best-selling model from 2018 to 2023.

Companies typically require pilots to have a minimum of 500 hours of total flight time and additional training with a mentor pilot due to the high value of the aircraft.
