Your personal aircraft

Don’t want to share? The J230/J430 puts owning your own personal aircraft within reach. Two up, with a spacious interior and sizable cargo area, it’s the most useful aircraft going around.

Ample endurance at 120kts cruise, you can get out and about, just as comfortably on a dirt or grass strip as on acres of tarmac. The Dynon glass cockpit gives you all the advantages of modern technology and you can fill your panel with more avionics than a fighter pilot, if that’s your thing.

While it is simple to fly and operate, you will enjoy the challenge of flying the J230/J430 as precisely as those who have mastered the art.
