Details
Bluesky Hangar's Grumman AA5 collection for MSFS 2020/2024 brings you the three main AA5 variants – AA-5 Traveler, AA-5A Cheetah and AA-5B Tiger - each with highly detailed interior and exterior models and accurate flight dynamics which match the differences in engine and airframe.
Four separate panel configurations are included, ranging from basic 1970s VFR steam gauges to a modern G1000 panel, and features include 15 real-world liveries, fully simulated Century-1 Autopilot and circuit breakers, openable sliding canopy and ground equipment.
The Grumman AA-5 series is a family of four-seat, light general aviation aircraft used for touring and flight training. Produced between 1971 and 1979, the AA-5 family evolved through three major variants, with more than 3,000 examples built. Featuring either a 150hp or 180hp piston engine, depending on the model, these aircraft earned a reputation for their light and sporty performance as well as their comparatively high cruise speed, despite having a fixed-pitch propeller and fixed landing gear.
The AA-5, in all its variants, is flown all around the world, and as such this package features real-world liveries from the UK, USA, Germany and Canada, with matching panel and interior upholstery colours for each.
The Grumman AA-5 for MSFS features the three main variants of the family – AA-5 Traveler, AA-5A Cheetah and AA-5B Tiger. Each aircraft features highly detailed interior and exterior models, PBR materials, accurate flight dynamics to match the differences in engine and airframe, a Century-1 wing leveller and VOR tracker, in-game Pilot’s Operating Handbook for configuring various aircraft features and for quick reference of performance charts, and four separate panel configurations ranging from basic 1970s VFR steam gauges to a modern G1000 panel – all changeable on the fly. Experience the evolution of the AA-5 through the decades, from a period-correct 1971 AA-5 Traveler fresh off the assembly line to a 2020s-style AA-5B Tiger retrofitted with modern avionics, and everything in between.
