Symphony 160

This new sport trainer gets even better the second time around

Landings are similar to those in a Cessna 150, with comparable approach and stall speeds. The Symphony’s extra weight lends the airplane a more solid feel in the pattern, but it doesn’t seem to affect landing characteristics. Controls remain positive and effective all the way to stall, and the actual payoff is easily predictable. Should you happen to misjudge flare height and level too high, the sprung steel gear will absorb your mistake without springing you back into the air, provided you’ve kept speed in check.

As general aviation continues its slow, halting recovery from the economic depths of the late ’90s, Symphony Aircraft plans to carve out its share of what everyone hopes will be a larger pie. The Symphony 160 is a good first step toward that goal.
