TB 20 Trinidad GT

Features and benefits

The Socata TB 20 Trinidad GT is a retractable landing-gear, 4-5 seat, single engine with constant speed propeller aircraft.

The TB 20 GT is powered by 250 HP. It is the benchmark in the high-end single-engine aircraft market. The aircraft trailing-arm landing gear guarantees an exceptionally smooth ground roll, and even smoother landings. Plus, it has retractable footsteps.

The TB 20 GT also incorporates a complete state-of-the art avionics suite for optimum IFR flying. For users with even more stringent demands, an electronic flight instrument system (EFIS) is available.
The panel layout is very similar to that of a turbine, including throttle on the center console, and positioning of lights, alarms, switches and fuses, facilitating transition to larger aircraft.
This is the best seller of TB GT family both within flying schools and for privates.
