Aircraft Specifications
VAN’S RV-12iS
2025 SPECIFICATIONS
The Van’s RV-12iS is the most technologically advanced aircraft in our fleet. Our 2025 build (N901SJ) features dual Garmin G3X Touch glass panels, a GTN 650Xi IFR navigator, and a GFC 500 2-axis autopilot — qualifying as a Technologically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) at the lowest hourly rate in our fleet. Train for IFR currency, build TAA time, or fly the most modern cockpit at KTOP.
What is TAA? A Technologically Advanced Aircraft requires a glass PFD, moving map GPS, and an autopilot. TAA flight time counts toward the commercial pilot practical test aeronautical experience. The RV-12iS qualifies and is ideal for building TAA hours efficiently.
