Designed for performance and built for adventure
The Sirius BackCountry is an unparalleled cost-effective aircraft that will satisfy pilots who want an immersive and exhilarating flight experience in whatever conditions or environment they choose to fly.
Building on the stability of the revered E/AB high-wing Sirius, this MOSAIC-ready tailwheel aircraft enables pilots and crew to expand their mission list of destinations for sport, business or adventure. The Sirius Backcountry is a trifecta of high-performance capabilities, luxurious comforts, and multi-function practicalities.
Flight performance was paramount in the redesign of this aircraft. The latest technology in CAD and 3D modeling was utilized to enhance the platform with amazing visibility and dynamic flight characteristics. Powered by Rotax engines (912UL/iS, 914iS or 916iS) or Turbotech (Turboprop TP-R90), the max STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) takeoff performance of less than one hundred (100) feet and 1800 – 2200 FPM climb out (Rotax 916iS), can make every flight an adventure.
Similarly to all TL Aircraft, luxury and comfort are key components of the Sirius BackCountry design. The leather heated seats, spacious cockpit, and Garmin avionics suite options for VFR and IFR configurations allow stress-free flights of over 700 miles. A substantial storage area of 6.5 cu. feet with an easy-access cargo door, and undermount brackets for securing items like an Ebike will transform a routine ordinary flight into an adventurous journey.
The pneumatic tail wheel assembly, Alaskan Gear Company’s Alaskan Bushwheel 26-inch wheels, and light-weight carbon Kevlar composite mix airframe provide the ruggedness to manage all types of airstrips. You will truly have the capability of landing on small strips like sandbars and carved out rural fields.
And as is standard with all TL aircraft, the Sirus BackCountry is equipped with a Stratos Magnum Ballistic Parachute Recovery System ensuring the safety of the pilot, crew and aircraft.
There are many reasons backcountry flying has become immensely popular in North America. One of the primary reasons is the challenge of becoming a better pilot. Thousands have also discovered the crowd-drawing STOL competitions across the United States. What draws pilots to STOL is similar to what is drawing them to backcountry adventures. The skills required for true backcountry pilots are unique. Pursuing that experience is cost-effective in a Sirius BackCountry.
Creative, custom paint schemes are encouraged with the Sirius BackCountry! Every Sirius BackCountry is custom ordered, built, and delivered with the same passion and commitment to quality as the first TL aircraft over 35 years ago.
