About the Symphony Aircraft Industries SA-160

The Symphony SA-160 is a four-seat composite single-engine aircraft developed by Symphony Aircraft Industries, a company with roots in both Israel and Canada that began deliveries in the early 2000s. Designed as a modern alternative to legacy trainers and personal aircraft, the SA-160 features all-composite construction, a Lycoming IO-360 engine producing 180 horsepower, and a spacious cabin aimed at the owner-flown and flight training markets. Its clean aerodynamic design and relatively low empty weight give it respectable cruise performance for the class, typically around 135 knots, while maintaining docile handling characteristics suitable for ab-initio instruction.

The type saw limited production and remains uncommon in the North American fleet, with most examples operated by private owners and small flight schools. Despite its promising design, Symphony Aircraft faced financial difficulties and production remained modest, making the SA-160 a rare sight on the ramp compared to ubiquitous Cessnas and Pipers. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
