Presenting the KOLIBER 160 & 235A

Falcon Wings Aviation proudly presents the KOLIBER 4-place airplane manufactured by PZL of Warsaw, Poland&ecedil;. The KOLIBER continues a long, proud tradition in the design and manufacture of aircraft since 1928.

Initial KOLIBER type certification was received in 1982. Since that time, deliveries have been made to many countries, including Australia, Britain, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. It is now FAA approved in the USA under FAR 23 Type Certificate #A69EU.

Each KOLIBER II is delivered ready to fly with IFR gyro instrumentation and avionics plus full night flight capability. Optional avionics packages are available.

KOLIBER II is truly a remarkable airplane, equally at home for training student pilots or for cross-country pleasure and business flights. KOLIBER II is surprisingly docile, with an ability to fly at speeds down to 39 kts. at full gross takeoff weight. In fact, aided by aerodynamically activated leading edge slats, KOLIBER II will not stall in the conventional sense with power off. Instead, it simply descends without a stall "break". In order to actually stall, power must be applied. Durable, all=metal construction, hydro-pneumatic dampened main landing gear and tricycle design allow for flights in moderate cross-wind conditions.

Fuel economy is extraordinary and the dependable Textron-Lycoming 150 hp engine has a substantial Time Between Overhaul (TBO) of 2000 flight hours! Maintenance can be accomplished by most general aviation mechanics using simple tools and equipment found at any light airplane service facility.
