GABRIEL
A small aircraft designed and built by an Italian company that has made the hard choice to focus on modernity as much as on safety and looks. This spectacular aircraft is the result of passion.
The Gabriél (BK160-TR) is the first trainer aircraft of our time designed for general aviation, piston engine, single propeller. It features a full Garmin glass cockpit avionics (G3X Touch + G5), autopilot, secondary com/nav unit, and more. What sets it apart from the older GA trainers that we all know, is its tandem seating configuration and bubble canopy taken from the military trainer philosophy: With the instructor out of sight, the student feels responsible for the flight, and the perfect 300+ degree visibility gives him/her a strong connection to the world.
With a modest 160 hp, fuel injected engine (Lycoming IO-320), integrated into its lightweight and aerodynamically efficient airframe, the Gabriél has just the power it needs to fly beautifully and safely at up to 150 knots.
Whether you choose to fly it from the front seat or experience a more challenging flight in the back seat with a student in front of you, one thing is for sure: this Flying Fries' Gabriel BK160-TR will take your General Aviation flights (solo or multiplayer) to a whole new level.
