Gulfstream American Tiger
AA-5B
The AA-5B Tiger is a high-performance, bonded-wing aircraft known for its speed and responsive handling. Featuring a unique sliding canopy and a sporty feel, the Tiger offers Pitcairn students a faster cross-country experience and a transition into more responsive, low-wing flight characteristics.
The Gulfstream American AA-5B Tiger, tail number N4554J, brings a different breed of performance to the Pitcairn Flight Academy fleet. Unlike the high-wing trainers, the Tiger offers a low-wing, high-visibility experience that is both fast and fun to fly. Based in the Royersford and Pottstown area, this aircraft is a favorite for students looking to expand their skills in a cross-country platform that truly moves.
