Every day, the team at Aircraft For Sale chooses an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, a good deal, or has other qualities we find interesting. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 2001 SOCATA TB-21 Trinidad.
This particular Trinidad is a standout, powered by the robust Lycoming TIO-540 turbocharged engine, which has accrued only 1,000 hours of flight time since new. Paired with a Hartzell three-bladed propeller, the powerplant offers impressive performance, especially at higher altitudes where the turbocharger shines. With over 700 hours remaining until the next major overhaul, the engine is ready to provide many more years of reliable service.
Stepping into the cockpit, you’ll find a modern and capable IFR panel designed for serious flying. The avionics suite is centered around a Garmin GTN 750/650 WAAS package, providing state-of-the-art navigation and communication.
This is complemented by a crisp Garmin G5 attitude indicator, JPI 900 for comprehensive engine monitoring, and reliable KFC 150 autopilot for reducing workload on long flights. Full ADS-B In and Out, complete with weather data, ensures total situational awareness.
Beyond its performance, this SOCATA is built for comfort. The cabin features factory air conditioning, a welcome relief on summer days, and a four-place oxygen system for taking advantage of the aircraft’s high-altitude capabilities.
The original 2001 interior and paint are in remarkable condition, a testament to the care the aircraft has received. Furthermore, its TKS anti-ice system provides an extra layer of safety and utility, expanding travel options into varying weather conditions.
Offered at $325,000, this 2001 SOCATA TB-21 Trinidad represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, highly capable, and impressively equipped aircraft ready for serious cross-country flying.
