1984 Socata TB-20 Trinidad

1984 SOCATA TB-20 TRINIDAD – LOW HOURS – SERIOUS TOURING AIRCRAFT A rare opportunity to acquire a low-hours SOCATA TB-20 Trinidad, widely regarded as one of the strongest, most comfortable four-seat touring aircraft ever built. Designed in Europe as a true cross-country machine, the Trinidad offers exceptional structural strength, stability in turbulence, and genuine four-adult comfort—qualities that set it apart from typical Archer, 182, or Mooney alternatives. Highlights: •Low-hours IO 540 250hp engine and propellor time - 155 hours since overhaul in 2019 – increasingly hard to find in this class. Total airframe time 2680hrs. •Wide, comfortable cabin with excellent legroom and shoulder space. (Width of cabin at 50 inches vs 42 inches of the Cessna 182.) •Large baggage compartment with approx. 65 kg / 143 lb capacity •Wide-track trailing-link undercarriage – superb ground handling and easy landings •Rock-solid VFR platform – stable, predictable, and confidence-inspiring •European build quality – robust airframe, quality systems, excellent corrosion protection The TB-20 feels more like a mini touring aircraft than a light GA single. It carries people and luggage with ease, handles weather confidently, and remains relaxed and efficient on long legs. Ideal for pilots wanting a proper travelling aircraft, not a compromise trainer. Inspection highly recommended – aircraft of this quality and vintage rarely come to market. Always hangered and currently available for viewing at Archerfield airfield in Brisbane.
