Features and benefits

The SOCATA TB 9 GT TAMPICO SPRINT is a fixed-gear, 4-5 seat, single-engine aircraft designed primary for basic training with a 160 HP engine.

The ideal trainer : The Tampico Sprint's suitability for training mission is enhanced by high wing loading that yields excellent response in turbulence and offers remarkable handling stability throughout all flight regimes. Precise control during landings is further facilitated by a highly effective stabilator. This ease of handling - coupled with excellent visibility, durable construction and simple, low-cost maintenance - makes the Tampico Club an ideal choice for training. Its trailing-link landing gear ensures a smooth ride during taxi and reduces the impact of heavy landings.
