Welcome Aboard!
Congr at ulations! Your AA-5 ha s been designed to provide a
responsive, high
performance four-place aircraft. It offers l ow hourly
cost in flight and minimum maintenance. The materials, tec hniqu es
and design innovations which m ade the AA-5 possible al so made it
much stronger and more hand some than any ot her four-place airc raf t
in its class.
Metal-to-metal
bonding eliminates the many sou rces of drag and
st ress concent r at ions built in to other four-place aircraft, and leaves
the
aerodynamic su rf aces s mo ot h as glass. Aluminum h oneyco mb

st rong passenger co mp a rtm ent for maximum safety.
The AA-5's com bina tio n of st ren gt h, performance, agili ty and
economy plus the rear seat conve rtibility, make it an exce ll ent
passenger or utility aircr aft for l oca l or cross- country flights.
