About the Socata TB-20 Trinidad
The Socata TB-20 Trinidad and turbocharged TB-21 Trinidad TC are the high-performance retractable-gear members of the Socata TB piston line — low-wing four-to-five-seat singles with the distinctive bulged "gull-wing" cabin doors and roomy cabin that set the TB-series apart from American competitors. The TB-20 uses the Lycoming IO-540 (250 hp, ~160 kt); the TB-21 adds a turbocharger for better high-altitude performance. Produced from 1980 through the 2000s, the Trinidad offers a comfortable, well-built European alternative to the Bonanza/Mooney/Cirrus class with a notably wide cabin — though parts support outside Europe requires verification.
Produced 1982.
