About the Grob Aircraft G 120TP

The Grob G 120TP is a German-designed single-engine turboprop trainer that has become the primary ab initio training aircraft for multiple air forces worldwide. Built by Grob Aircraft in Tussenhausen-Mattsies, Bavaria, the G 120TP entered service in 2008 as a modern successor to piston-powered basic trainers, offering jet-like handling characteristics at a fraction of the operating cost. Its Rolls-Royce M250-B17F turboprop delivers 450 shaft horsepower, enabling aerobatic capability to +6/-4g and a never-exceed speed of 268 knots—performance that bridges the gap between elementary flight training and advanced jet instruction.

The type's most prominent operator is the Royal Canadian Air Force, which selected the G 120TP in 2017 to replace its aging CT-156 Harvard II fleet under the NATO Flying Training in Canada program. Designated the CT-156 Harvard II in Canadian service, the aircraft trains student pilots at 15 Wing Moose Jaw alongside the BAE Hawk for the RCAF and allied nations. The G 120TP's glass cockpit features Garmin G500 avionics with synthetic vision, providing students with modern systems experience while retaining conventional flight controls and tandem seating that emphasize hands-on airmanship. Its low wing loading and responsive handling make it equally suited to basic maneuvers and advanced aerobatics including loops, rolls, and spins.

Beyond Canada, the G 120TP serves with the Indian Air Force (75 aircraft delivered), the Royal Jordanian Air Force, and civilian flight schools in Europe and North America. The type's reliability in harsh climates—from Canadian winters to Indian monsoons—and its 1,500-hour TBO on the Rolls-Royce engine have made it a cost-effective platform for high-tempo training operations. With a service ceiling of 25,000 feet and a range exceeding 600 nautical miles, the G 120TP provides the endurance for extended training sorties while maintaining the agility demanded by military aerobatic syllabi.
