PT-06A Training Aircraft

The PT-06A Training Aircraft aircraft is build by Hongdu Aviation.

PT-06A is a Two-seat Chinese-built aircraft powered by a 260-hp Zhuzhou Huosai HS-6 radial piston engine. It is fully aerobatic and export version of Nanchang CJ-6 which was introduced in 1960. The CJ-6 was a licence-built version of the Yak-18. The Nanchang CJ-6 makes extensive use of pneumatics to control the gear and flap extension/retraction, operate the brakes and start the engine. An engine-driven air pump recharges the system, however if air pressure is too low to start the engine then the onboard air tank can be recharged by an external source. If an external source is not available then the engine can be started by hand swinging the propeller.
