About the TB 9 Tampico

The Socata TB 9 Tampico is a type-certificated fixed-wing aircraft featuring a single engine, fixed landing gear, and a low-wing monoplane layout with a four-seat capacity. Produced in France, it serves primarily as an economical basic flight trainer and light touring aircraft, suiting flight schools and private owners looking for a comfortable cabin and stable handling.

Developed as part of the French TB series introduced in the late seventies, this entry-level model was designed by Socata to offer a modern, ergonomic alternative to traditional American trainers. The wider family includes variants with more power, retractable gear, and higher cruise speeds, while series production of the lineup extended from the early eighties into the two-thousands.

On the label and not the count: the bands count every aircraft on the market (on_market) while the grid shows only those with a photo (live), so the count is not a promise of how many cards appear.
