THE MC-01. YOU in control.
Smart. Efficient. Crafted for Performance. Ready for What’s Next.
​
The Montaer MC-01 isn’t just another Light Sport Aircraft—it’s a bold redefinition of what an LSA can be. Designed in Brazil and FAA-approved since 2020, the MC-01 brings military-grade precision, cross-country performance, and glass-cockpit technology into a rugged, all-metal high-wing platform that’s as versatile as it is elegant.
​
Backed by Brazil’s strong aeronautical heritage and manufactured under strict international quality systems, the MC-01 is engineered for professionals who expect more: more reliability, more comfort, and more capability. With an unmatched blend of safety, stability, and systems integration, this aircraft has earned its place as a top choice among flight schools, instructors, and time-building pilots worldwide—from the U.S. to Brazil, to Asia.
​
Technically-Advanced for Tomorrow’s Training
Inside the MC-01’s spacious cockpit lies a fully integrated Garmin avionics suite, offering an experience that rivals certified aircraft. The G3X Touch system, included as standard, features synthetic vision, moving maps, engine and fuel monitoring, and real-time traffic and weather overlays via ADS-B IN/OUT. With smooth touch interface and bright high-resolution displays, it’s both powerful and intuitive—ideal for both new students and experienced pilots.
​
Go further with optional GTN 650Xi or 750Xi navigators, unlocking IFR training capability, certified WAAS GPS approaches, and full touchscreen flight planning. Add the GFC 507 digital autopilot for envelope protection, one-touch level mode, altitude hold, and vertical navigation—perfect for building instrument skills in a structured and safe environment.
​
This isn’t just a training aircraft—it’s a complete platform for professional development, ready for everything from VFR basics to advanced IFR scenarios.
​
Built for High Standards. Backed by Real Flight Hours.
Every Montaer aircraft is built to exacting global standards, incorporating solid metal rivets, a welded 4130 steel safety cell, and precision manufacturing processes to meet and exceed ASTM compliance under FAA guidelines. With FAA acceptance for U.S. operations and full MOSAIC-readiness—including support for the projected 1,650 lb MTOW—your investment is protected and future-proof.
​
The MC-01 also features one of the largest baggage areas in the category, superior cabin space, and ultra-reliable handling that makes it a favorite for daily training and extended cross-country missions alike. Combined with low stall speed (39 KTS), stable flight characteristics, and outstanding climb performance (especially with the turbocharged Rotax 916iS), the MC-01 offers a level of versatility unmatched in its class.
​
Global Reach. Easy Support.
Already embraced by top-tier flight schools in Brazil (one of the world’s most vibrant aviation cultures) and selected by high-standard training institutions in South Korea, the MC-01’s reputation speaks for itself. And with a growing U.S. presence, expanding dealer and support networks, and scalable avionics options, Montaer is building more than aircraft—it’s building trust.
