History
The line began with the Rockwell Commander 112, which first flew in December 1970, and evolved through the 114 into the Commander 115 introduced around 2000 with a fuel-injected engine and updated systems. Production was always in modest numbers.
Variants
The family spans the Commander 112, 112TC, 114, 114B and the final 115 and 115TC, each with progressively more power and refinement. All share the roomy cabin and solid, stable handling that gave the type its reputation.
Where you'll see it
A small number serve UK and European private owners as comfortable cross-country tourers, prized for their spacious cabin and load-carrying ability rather than outright speed.
