Maule MT-7
Short fields are just an opinion.
A rugged, high-wing taildragger built for airstrips most aircraft can't use. The MT-7's big flaps and forgiving low-speed handling make it the aircraft we reach for whenever the mission calls for a short, soft, or unpaved strip.
Backcountry and STOL skill-building for pilots who already hold a tailwheel endorsement, plus short-field technique for cross-country students.
Tailwheel endorsement required before checkout. A backcountry-specific briefing is included for unpaved-strip operations.
Tiger Moth
Aviation the way it began.
The de Havilland Tiger Moth is where modern flight training has its roots — open cockpit, tandem seating, and a fabric-covered biplane airframe that rewards precise, honest stick-and-rudder flying. We fly ours for heritage experiences and genuine tailwheel skill-building, not for the faint of heart.
A heritage flying experience and a serious tailwheel/stick-and-rudder sharpening exercise for licensed pilots. Not used for ab-initio instruction.
Tailwheel endorsement and an open-cockpit safety briefing are required. Prior conventional-gear experience strongly recommended.
Storch
The shortest take-off you will ever believe.
Famous for lifting off in barely more than its own length, the Storch remains one of the most remarkable STOL airframes ever built. Full-span slats and slotted flaps let it fly comfortably at speeds that would stall most aircraft. A genuine collector's piece, flown with the respect it deserves.
Reserved for experienced, type-checked pilots as an advanced historic-type conversion. Not available for primary or early-stage training.
Type-specific checkout required. Significant taildragger and high-lift-device experience is a prerequisite before we'll discuss a briefing.
Skyfox CA22
The easiest first hour you will ever log.
A simple, affordable, high-wing light sport aircraft built for exactly one thing: getting new pilots comfortable in the air quickly. Docile handling and low operating costs make it a favourite for Discovery Flights and Recreational Pilot Certificate training.
Ideal first aircraft for ab-initio students and Recreational/LSA pilot certificate training — genuinely beginner-friendly from lesson one.
No prior experience required. Standard LSA-category briefing only.
Cessna 172 XP II
Our flagship — extra power, effortless range.
The XP II pairs the familiar 172 airframe with a fuel-injected Continental IO-360 for real cross-country performance. It's the aircraft we put pilots in when they're ready to see what Atlantic Aviation can really do.
A step-up aircraft for Private Pilot graduates moving into serious cross-country flying, and our showcase aircraft for Discovery Flights.
No type-specific endorsement required beyond standard checkout with an Atlantic instructor.
Pipistrel Virus SW
Modern efficiency, glass-cockpit precision.
A Slovenian-built composite aircraft that punches well above its weight — exceptional fuel efficiency, a slippery airframe, and modern glass avionics. The Virus SW is our platform for pilots who want to learn on the same technology flying in general aviation today.
Excellent for glass-cockpit familiarization and fuel-conscious cross-country training; suits both new students and experienced pilots transitioning to modern avionics.
No prior LSA experience required, though a glass-panel orientation session is included before first solo in type.
Jabiru SP6
Economical range, honest handling.
Built around Jabiru's own six-cylinder engine, the SP6 is a light, composite touring aircraft known for long legs and low running costs. A practical choice for students logging cross-country hours without burning through a budget.
Well suited to cross-country hour-building and endurance navigation exercises thanks to its range; a cost-effective option for private pilots.
Standard type checkout with an Atlantic instructor; no special endorsement required.
Piper PA-32
Six seats. Serious range. Serious aircraft.
A cabin-class single built for carrying real payload over real distance. The PA-32's roomy cabin and high-performance Lycoming give it the presence of a much larger aircraft, without the complexity of a twin.
Used for high-performance and complex-systems training ahead of commercial-level coursework, and for charter-style private flights.
High-performance endorsement required (aircraft exceeds 200hp). Checkout with an Atlantic instructor is mandatory before solo.
Stinson HS-CPM 72
A postwar classic, kept flying.
An American classic from aviation's golden era of touring aircraft — a fabric-and-metal taildragger with a wide, comfortable cabin for its day and handling that taught a generation of pilots proper rudder work. We maintain ours as a living piece of aviation history.
A heritage tailwheel-conversion aircraft for licensed pilots wanting classic taildragger experience beyond the primary trainers.
Tailwheel endorsement required. Type-specific briefing included as part of checkout.
Zenith CH750 Cruzer
Kit-built precision, built for short strips.
An all-aluminum, high-wing STOL aircraft on tricycle gear, prized for forgiving handling and genuinely short-field performance without a tailwheel learning curve. A popular next step for LSA students ready to explore STOL technique.
Introductory STOL technique training for LSA-category students, without the added complexity of a tailwheel conversion.
Standard LSA-category checkout; no tailwheel endorsement needed thanks to the tricycle undercarriage.
Cessna 177RG Cardinal
Retractable gear, serious systems training.
The retractable-gear sibling of the Cardinal family, built for pilots ready to manage a constant-speed propeller and folding undercarriage. A favourite step on the road toward commercial-level systems management.
Complex-aircraft training for pilots working toward a Commercial Pilot License — retractable gear and constant-speed prop management.
Complex aircraft endorsement required (retractable gear + constant-speed propeller). Full systems checkout mandatory before solo.
