Socata TB-20 Trinidad
Aircraft description
Introduced in 1981 as an improved and upgraded version of the TB-10 Tobago, the TB-20 was powered by a more powerful 250 horsepower IO-540 engine and later became the 'Trinidad'. Loved for it's spacious, ergonomic, 'luxury car' cabin design and excellent stall recovery - the type is respected by both experienced instructors and low-time recreational pilots as either an advanced flight trainer or genuine medium-range tourer.
This beautifully-maintained aircraft has been recently fitted with a newly overhauled engine and 3-blade propeller. Offering a full suite of Bendix-King avionics, EDM-930 EMS & autopilot, the aircraft is easily upgradeable to IFR (with 50% / $5000 Government ADSB rebate), or retained with nothing to spend. Painted in a striking livery with well-presented interior seats and trims, VH-JTP will provide years of utility and enjoyment as either a business commuter, flight school line aircraft or family tourer.
