OK-MPA, No. 246, Aero Club Frýdlant nad Ostravicí, Czech Republic, 2019

Trenér No. 246 was manufactured in 1958 and

was registered in December the same year as the

Z-226B towing special with rear controls only.

It flies with the Frýdlant nad Ostravicí Aero Club

from 2009, when it was brought from Havlíčkův

December 2022

Brod Aero Club. During overhaul in 1989 the M-137

engine was installed and the V-503A automatic

pitch-control propeller as well. Thus, together

with other necessary changes it was brought to

the standard of Z-226MS. The aircraft was used in

various gliding contests as the tow, two of them,

the Euroglide 2008 and 2012 are commemorated

by stickers on the left side of the vertical fin. The

exhaust silencer was installed by Frýdlant Aero

Club to keep the noise levels low.
