Demande m’a été faite de donner mon avis suite à l’essai en vol du Sonaca 200.
Safe-to-fly
The Sonaca 200's wing structure and profile have been optimized to ensure safe flight behavior at all speeds. The aircraft remains highly maneuverable and responsive as it approaches stall conditions, making the Sonaca 200 particularly suitable for training.
Low operational cost
The Sonaca 200 offers low operating costs thanks to:
- Its state-of-the-art Rotax engine (multi-fuel and low consumption)
- Its metallic structure which is both shock-resistant and easy to repair
- Its durability and longevity thanks to the use of proven materials and technologies
- Its numerous inspection hatches
Robustness & reliability
The Sonaca 200 is designed to withstand turbulent flight conditions and hard landings. Based on the Sonaca Group's experience in aerostructure, Sonaca Aircraft has opted for an aluminum airframe that is particularly well suited to withstand impacts, corrosion, cracks, etc. for several decades.
Fun-to-fly
The aerodynamic profile of the Sonaca 200 and its engine (115hp turbocharged engine) allow for short take-offs and guarantee comfortable climb rates (750 feet per minute) and cruising speed (110 knots).
