The aircraft is a six-seater, twin-engine, high-wing aircraft with fixed landing gear. In comparison to its predecessors this year, the plane is now standard with several enhancements. These include a completely redesigned cockpit featuring the new Garmin G-1000 NXI and a new Garmin GFC700 digital autopilot with a yaw damper. Other improvements consist of adjustable seats, a standard pilot door, sturdier main gear and brakes, and an increased maximum zero fuel weight. Additionally, the aircraft boasts an impressive wing life limit of 21550 hours (about 2 and a half years).
The Aircraft presents itself as a rational option in today’s General Aviation market, serving as a pragmatic alternative to various single-engine and light twin aircraft.
Its dual-engine redundancy and fuel efficiency, comparable to many six-cylinder single-engine piston aircraft, position the aircraft in a distinct category of its own.
As a result, the Aircraft embodies a gentle, calm, and consistent performance across the entire flight envelope, showcasing exceptional flight characteristics that become apparent only when the aircraft is in operation.

This perspective reveals the standard 1+5 seat interior configuration of the Aircraft, illustrating the organization of the cockpit crew, passenger cabin, and baggage compartment. The layout includes the Front RH Pilot door, the spacious aft RH Cargo door, and the LH Passenger entrance door. Additionally, the aircraft can obtain certification for 1+6 seating by incorporating a rear bench, accommodating three passengers.
A notable enhancement in the revamped Aircraft is the redesigned interior, garnering significant appreciation for its substantial increase in headroom, particularly in the aft passenger area.
The easily removable seats provide a spacious cabin volume, allowing for the transport of various goods, ranging from mountain bikes and golf clubs to stretchers for aerial ambulance duties. For business flying purposes, the aircraft can be effortlessly reconfigured with club seating by simply changing the orientation of two middle seats.
The collaborative efforts of an ideal designer/test pilot duo have crafted truly remarkable and gentle handling characteristics, particularly at low speeds or in the unlikely event of an engine failure. The forward positioning of the pilot in relation to the wing ensures excellent rearward visibility during turns, promoting enhanced safety in crowded airspace. With optional de-icing equipment, the Aircraft has proven its operational prowess in diverse conditions, from severe winter weather over the North Sea to the challenging environments of Africa and Australia.
The standout feature across the Aircraft Series is its commitment to economy. This economic advantage is a product of the aircraft’s low operating costs and minimal maintenance expenses, directly attributed to its simple construction, low fuel consumption, and cost-effective replacement of power plants. The robust and maintenance-free leaf spring fixed undercarriage, along with the absence of intricate systems and easily accessible servicing points, ensures that maintenance is kept to a minimum. Additionally, the high wing configuration strategically places engine intakes and propeller tips well above the ground, minimizing dust ingestion and stone denting, and maximizing the service lives of engines and propellers.
While it is indeed a fact that composite aircraft often lack rivets, at Aero Freyr, we firmly believe in the numerous advantages of aluminum construction. The primary benefit lies in weight; when compared to a similar structure crafted from aircraft-certified composite materials, aluminum construction proves advantageous. Another significant advantage is the well-documented aging and fatigue qualities of aluminum structures, coupled with the ease of repair, offering reliability and durability over time.
The new introduced Aircraft comes with a pair of normally aspirated Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 engines, each delivering 200 horsepower. These engines are coupled with Hartzell constant-speed, full-feathering propellers.
The Aircraft’s remarkably streamlined design is an outcome of extensive wind tunnel testing, ensuring peak performance in terms of maximum speed, rate of climb, and endurance.
All components from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) integrated into the Aircraft series have undergone comprehensive reviews and updates, ensuring rapid availability of parts. With full-scale production back in operation, the assurance of airframe parts availability is reaffirmed.
Adding to its appeal is the distinctive Italian design and manufacturing of the Aircraft Series. The clean lines of the aircraft stand out, showcasing a difference in style.
The Aircraft can be aptly described as an airborne SUV, boasting two powerful and reliable engines. What sets it apart in the light twin market is its unique offering of three rows of removable seats and an impressive internal volume exceeding 65 cubic feet. This includes 20 cubic feet of cargo space, enabling a maximum load of 400 lbs in the cargo compartment.
The flexibility of the Aircraft’s interior space allows pilots to configure the aircraft in various ways, catering to diverse mission profiles.
*It’s crucial for the pilot to adhere to all operations in accordance with the approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook, which serves as the sole official source of data.
