About the Socata TB-20 Trinidad

The Socata TB-20 Trinidad is a French-built single-engine touring aircraft that carved out a niche as one of the most capable four-seat piston singles of the 1980s and 1990s. Manufactured by Socata (now part of Daher), the Trinidad entered production in 1977 as part of the TB family, sharing its distinctive low-wing design and sliding canopy with the two-seat TB-10 Tobago but offering significantly more power and performance. With a 250-horsepower Lycoming IO-540 engine, the TB-20 cruises at around 160 knots true airspeed and can carry four adults plus baggage over 900 nautical miles, making it a genuine cross-country tourer that competes with the Piper Arrow and Beechcraft Bonanza in capability if not quite in speed.

The type's handling is famously harmonious, with light, responsive controls and excellent visibility through the bubble canopy, traits that made it popular with European flying clubs and private owners who valued refinement over raw performance. Production continued until 2009, with later GT and GTx variants adding fuel injection and glass cockpits. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
