Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 7.22 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane
- Pilot and instructor seated in tandem under a long canopy
- Single 215 hp Continental O-470 engine
Look for a low-wing tandem-seat trainer with a long canopy and fixed tailwheel undercarriage.
