Alenia Aermacchi

The SF-260 is the world’s most successful modern screener and primary trainer: his flight characteristics and performance levels allow it to cover effectively the entire primary training phase. With this aircraft student pilots can achieve the skill levels required for a smooth transition to higher performance basic trainers. This minimizes the costs incurred when student pilots are washed out later in the training process.

The additional third seat SF-260 allows flexibility to expand in non-aerobatic missions. It is available in both piston-engine and turboprop variants, respectively powered by a 260 hp Lycoming AEIO-540 (SF-260E) or a 350 shp Rolls-Royce Model 250 B-17D turboprop (SF-260TP).

The SF-260, sent to 27 different military customers (about 900 SF-260 in all variants), is also a favourite of civile professional flying schools.
