Symphony Aircraft Gets Canadian Certification

Filed in archive Aircraft on March 25, 2005

Symphony Aircraft, based in Three Rivers, Quebec, announced on Tuesday that it has obtained from Transport Canada the type and production certificates for the Symphony 160 two-seater. The certificate were formerly held by a now-defunct German company. With these certificates in hand, the first North American-built Symphony 160 aircraft will be delivered on March 31, the company said.

The small airplane has a roomy and uncluttered cockpit, with lots of visibility, plus pleasant predictable flying qualities that you can enjoy without rubbing elbows with your cabin-mate. The 160 will sell for around $150,000 IFR-equipped with steam gauges (and a nice Garmin radio package).
