The need for G-120 TP
• The tendency to stream pilot training at an earlier stage, as in the
past, is being adapted globally to the new operating parameters and
requirements.
• Taking the prerequisites together with the stringent defence budgets
has challenged the industry to provide a new approach.
• The G 120TP has been designed around the future needs of global air
forces.
 The need for G-120 TP
• Well-balanced performance, side-by-side seating together with high
reliability and competitive economics are the parameters of the global
21st century training needs.

• The G 120TP represents all of the aforementioned criteria.

• The G 120TP is certified to latest airworthiness standards and features
• enhanced aerodynamic performance & future oriented flexible avionics, including
• both civil and military communication and navigation systems,
• providing excellent situational awareness and safety features
• The G 120TP-A is certified in the UTILITY and ACROBATIC category
 The need for G-120 TP
• Simplicity in pilot operation and system functions make the G 120TP
the only sophisticated mission training platform that can
• accommodate typical elementary,
• basic and
• advanced pilot training segments.
 background of G-120TP
• Grob’s 120TP (Prefect T1) is an extreme evolution of a line of two-seat
sporting and aerobatic aircraft that began with the Grob G 115, first
flown in 1985 and including the G 115E,
• Variants: G 120A
• Piston powered version with a Lycoming AEIO-540-D4D5 six cylinder,
four-stroke, air-cooled piston aircraft engine producing 260 hp
(194 kW).[1]

Introduction
• The Grob, G-120TP is composite airframe, turboprop power, digital avionics and
a glass cockpit
• It is a two-seat and aerobatic, low-wing & tailplane with retractable tricycle
landing gear aircraft
• It is based on the G -120A training aircraft and has been developed for military
and civil pilots training.
• The aircraft is part of a training system which, in addition to the plane itself, also
includes a Computer Based Training (CBT) and a simulator (FTD, Flight Training
Device).
• with operating simplicity makes the ideal platform for learning the first steps of
flying all the way to pushing the envelope at 6g during the aerobatic training
phase
G 120 TP characteristcs
• The G 120 TP itself is characterized by
• an excellent power-to-weight ratio (maximum take-off weight 1590 kg,
• Rolls-Royce M250-B17F engine with 340 kW).
• It’s g limites reach +6 and -4,
• the aircraft has a long service life of up to 15,000 flight hours
• composite, fiberglass construction, light and easy to repair.
• maximum speed of up to 454 km / h,
• cruising speed 435 km / h.
• The stall speed is 107 km / h (with landing configuration).
• It’s service ceiling is 7600 m, with the rate of climb 14 m / s.

G-120TP Airframe parts
Airframe
• The airframe is made of fiberglass reinforced plastic and is stressed to
+6/-4g.
• Its minimum service life is just over 15,000 flight hours
• The wings are made of carbon fibre composites with winglets
Cockpit
• The cockpit provides room for students and teachers wearing military
equipment and helmets.
• The HOTAS (hands on throttle-and-stick) control system is similar to
that found in other types of aircraft that students may fly later in their
careers.
• Therefore, basic and advanced flight training for future transport
aircraft, helicopter, or jet pilots will be possible..
 Cockpit
• The cockpit is equipped with movable seats, or optionally, the new
Martin-Baker Mk.17 lightweight ejection seats.
• The instrument panel can be equipped with a 4-screen Genesys
Aerosystems ,Cobham/Chelton Flight Systems IDU-680 EFIS.
• An autopilot and air conditioning system are available, as well as an
oxygen system and second thrust lever
G-120TP power plant(Engine)
• G-120TP aircraft is Powered by a single Rolls-Royce M250-B17F
turbine(turboprop) engine producing 456 shp (340 kW) for take-off.[
