1986 Socata TB-20 TrinidadSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft

This 1986 SOCATA TB-20 Trinidad (N103U) presents a well-equipped and maintained example of the European-designed single-engine aircraft, currently showing 2,857.2 total airframe hours. Powered by a 250 HP Lycoming IO-540-C4D5D engine with 722.2 hours since major overhaul (completed in September 2009) and a 3-blade McCauley constant-speed propeller, it delivers a cruise speed of approximately 165 knots while burning 12.2 GPH at economy settings for a 6-hour range with its 86.2-gallon usable fuel capacity. The aircraft underwent a powerplant replacement following a 1995 propeller strike, with subsequent maintenance including a 500-hour mag inspection/overhaul, new magnetos and spark plugs, landing gear pump replacement, new hydraulic power pack, and recent tires/brakes/rotors.

The avionics suite features modern Garmin equipment including a GTN 750 GPS/NAV/COM, GTX 345 transponder, GFC 500 autopilot, and GMA 345 audio panel with Bluetooth. The four-seat cabin (convertible to five seats) boasts leather upholstery and large windows, while the retractable tricycle gear adds operational versatility. Recent upgrades include a Whelen Parmetheus G3 taxi light and comprehensive maintenance documented in digitized logs. With its blend of performance and modern systems, this TB-20 is positioned for cross-country travel or training missions, currently based at Kissimmee, Florida.
