HISTORICAL REVIEW

Due to the new categories for light aircraft CS-VLA / JAR-VLA and the ageing airplanes existing flying schools in Argentina a group of private entrepreneurs, engineers with experience in the construction of experimental airplanes and pilots decide to create a Joint Venture.

​

 

After the design stage, construction the airplane was certified by the National Aviation Administration of Argentina that complies with the regulations of both U.S./FAA and Europe/EASA.

 

This major milestone meant that after 42 years an airplane was designed, produced and certified in Argentina.

​

 

In 2018 the team of Petrel again made history by certifying the airplane according to LSA Light Sport Aircraft regulations, becoming the first airplane of the type produced in Argentina.
