Aeroprakt A-20
The Aeroprakt A-20 is a Ukrainian light sport aircraft designed for economical private flying and flight training. Its high wing, tricycle gear, and large cabin doors give it the practicality of a small touring aircraft, while composite construction keeps weight low. The A-20 is part of a family of Aeroprakt designs popular with European recreational pilots. It remains less common than mainstream certified trainers because it is usually operated in the light-sport and amateur-built categories.
