Frequently Asked Questions — Sonaca

What is the Sonaca 200 and is it still in production?

The Sonaca 200 is a Belgian EASA-certified two-seat trainer based on the Sling 2 airframe, built to CS-VLA standards at 750 kg max weight. Powered by a 115 HP Rotax 914, it cruises at 115 knots. Production ran from 2017 to 2022 with 57 aircraft completed before halting. The Trainer Pro variant features Garmin G500 TXI glass cockpit. Priced around EUR 177,500 (standard) to EUR 208,500 (Pro).

Is the Sonaca 200 a good flight training aircraft?

The Sonaca 200 was designed specifically for professional flight training — EASA certification means hours count toward CPL and IR ratings, unlike many LSAs. It competes with Cessna 172, Diamond DA40, and Piper PA-28 for training fleet purchases at lower acquisition and operating costs. The Rotax 914 turbo provides consistent power at high-density altitude airports. The Garmin-equipped Trainer Pro variant suits IFR training.

Should I buy a used Sonaca 200?

With only 57 built and production halted, parts and support availability is the key concern for used buyers. Verify that Sonaca Aircraft still provides factory support for your serial number. The Sling 2 heritage means some structural components may be sourced through The Airplane Factory (Sling manufacturer). The small fleet size makes finding a qualified maintenance shop more challenging than for Cessna or Diamond aircraft.
