offering the ultimate combination of safety, performance, comfort,
and utility in durable, aluminum aircraft constructed and certified
to the highest standards.
Synergies in production of the Tiger and Commander 115/115TC
models will lead to increased manufacturing efficiencies. Full line
marketing programs provide the complete aircraft ownership
experience with aircraft acquisition, preferred financing and
insurance, product service and support, aircraft trade up programs,
as well as pilot training from factory sponsored private pilot
training through factory level high performance transition and
instrument recurrency training.

they fly through Total Customer Care and product support with a
worldwide network of more than 150 authorized service center
representatives.
Orders for the new Commander 115 and Turbo-Charged Commander
