Originally published at: Cirrus Introduces TRAC10 Training Aircraft
The three-seat trainer is slated for U.S. deliveries in 2027.
Why introduce a new piston powered plane that runs on 100LL? Unbelievable that the FAA would even certify anything new to run on 100LL. Cirrus should be figuring out how to make their composite fuel tanks impermeable to unleaded fuels like G100UL. Other than the government, who does Cirrus think what flight school is going to afford a $500,000 trainer, that is not even certified for spins? That makes it useless for CFI training.
