Overview
The 160-HP Socata TB9 Tampico GT is
the entry-level aircraft in the TB series, yet still
offers all standard GT features: new design, composite
canopy, flush-mounted windows, newly redesigned
wingtips and enlarged baggage door.
Few aircraft used in flying schools may be described
as "comfortable". But that's the word that comes up
most often when talking about the TB9 flying
classroom. The new TB9 offers high performance, thanks
to the GT-series aerodynamic improvements, along with
wheel fairings and a Sensenich propeller optimized for
cruise.
A new trailing-link type fixed landing gear enables
the Tampico GT to support high-cycle operation the
durability demanded by flight schools.
The Tampico GT's high wing loading yields excellent
response even in turbulence, and offers the solid ride
of heavier aircraft. The centre console is easy to
reach and controls are especially practical, making
the airplane a joy to fly.
