About the Grob Aircraft G 115

The Grob G 115 is a German two-seat aerobatic trainer that became one of Europe's most successful light training aircraft after its introduction in 1985. Built by Grob Aircraft in Mindelheim-Mattsies, Bavaria, the G 115 was designed from the outset as a robust primary and aerobatic trainer combining docile handling with genuine aerobatic capability — certified for spins, loops, rolls, and other maneuvers up to +6/-4g. Its composite construction (fiberglass fuselage, wooden wings) delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it popular with flight schools across Europe and beyond.

The type's side-by-side seating, excellent visibility through the bubble canopy, and forgiving stall characteristics made it a natural choice for ab-initio training, while the 160-horsepower Lycoming O-320 engine provides enough performance for advanced aerobatic instruction. Grob delivered over 500 examples in multiple variants, including the G 115A, B, C, D, and E models with progressively refined systems and powerplants. The Royal Air Force selected a militarized version — the Grob Tutor (G 115E) — as its primary trainer in the 1990s, operating more than 100 aircraft for elementary flying training and air cadet instruction.

The type remains in production and active service worldwide, prized for low operating costs, benign handling, and the durability that comes from composite construction. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with activity spanning routes.
