  • Page 61 The Aquila AT01-100 is a modern single engine two seater in a side-by-side configuration. Due to its high useful load, roomy cockpit, large baggage compartment, good cruise performance and light yet incredibly sturdy airframe, the Aquila is not only a great aircraft for longer tours but also an ideal training platform.
  • Page 62 The horizontal stabilizer assembly is bonded directly to the fuselage and cannot be removed. FLIGHT CONTROLS The flight controls of the Aquila AT01-100 are of conventional design using a control column and non-adjustable rudder pedals.
