About the TB-20 Trinidad

The Socata TB-20 TRINIDAD is a type-certificated, single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft featuring retractable landing gear and a spacious four-to-five-seat cabin with distinctive gull-wing doors. It is designed for pilots seeking a comfortable, wide-cabin European touring alternative to traditional American high-performance singles.

Produced in France beginning in 1980, the series evolved to include upgraded models equipped with modern integrated digital avionics suites and refined cabin ergonomics. The airframe is recognized for its robust construction, comfortable seating, and capability as an efficient cross-country travel machine.
