Socata TB-9 Tampico Aircraft

Originally built by SOCATA, now part of Daher (TBM series).

The Socata TB-9 Tampico is the lower-powered fixed-gear member of the TB family, suited to buyers who want a simple European low-wing trainer or personal aircraft rather than high-performance touring. Its appeal is cabin feel and straightforward flying, but it is less common than Cessna/Piper alternatives. Compared with the TB-10 Tobago, the TB-9 is the more modest entry point; compared with TB-20/TB-21 Trinidad models, it is much simpler.
