The fleet of Aéro-Club d'Aix-Marseille

On June 1st, 1999, ACAM owns seven planes shared in three ranges "Tail wing wheel planes", "wooden planes" and "metal planes". Theses three ranges are complementary and all pilots are invited to test each of them.

Perfectionnement / Travel	1 Jodel D140 180cv	1Robin DR48 180 cv	1 Trinidad TB20 250cv 1 Piper PA28 200cv
Flying instruction	1 D112 65 cv	2 Robin DR42 120 cv	1 Piper PA28 160 cv
	Tail wheel planes	wood planes	Metal planes

Because of the very specific aspect of flying a tail wheel plane - specially for landinf and taxiing - the flight instruction requests more attention and training must be regular.

Robin DR400 120 cv, 3 seats, well suited for flight instruction and local flights[1].

Plane for flying instruction DR400, 120 Cv

These planes are lights and very manoeuverable: they are very well suited for the beginning flyng instruction. They give a good visibility to their passengers, what gives them a good interest for local flights. But thy are also quite sensible to turbulences because of their light wieght, soa they are not very well suited for long distance travels.

Robin DR400 180 cv, 4 seats, local flights[1] and travels.

For Local flights and travels DR400, 180 Cv

This plane is the big version of the flying instruction planes, it has the same flyin caracteristics but its best powered engine makes it better suited for long distance travels.

Piper CADET 160 cv, 4 seats, used for flying school, local flights and travels.

Intermediary school PIPER 160 cv

"Metal plane" of the starting range of PIPER aircrafts, it is heavier, less manouvering than ROBIN planes. It can be used, and it is, for long distance flights.

Beginning school, tail wing wheel plane D112,65 cv

Our "jojo" is the smallest plane of ACAM. Its grand old age does not help its pilot to harness it better. This plane has two objectives : - making cheaper the first hours of training for initial students - initiating to fly tail wheel planes before training for flying in mountains (see Mousquetaire) or flying (Cap 10)

Tail wheel plane Mousquetaire III C 180 cv

BX is very well suited for flying in mountains because it can embark its own weight and it can also use skis.
