Last month, the MONTAER MC-04 was officially unveiled in a grand launch ceremony held at the company’s headquarters in Bahia, Brazil. The event brought together an impressive delegation of dignitaries, aviation authorities, and business leaders from both Brazil and the United States, marking a milestone not only for MONTAER but for the entire Light-Sport and general aviation community. The atmosphere was electric as the new four-seater model made its debut, showcasing Brazilian aeronautical engineering at its finest. With media coverage, factory tours, and live demonstrations of the MC-04’s cutting-edge avionics and capabilities, the celebration set the tone for MONTAER’s bold global ambitions and reaffirmed its commitment to bilateral innovation and excellence.
The Ultimate Four-Seater. Designed for the Future.
Introducing the MC-04 — MONTAER’s most advanced, powerful, and capable aircraft to date. With its official launch, a new benchmark is set for the Light-Sport and emerging MOSAIC category. More than just a four-seater, the MC-04 is a bold vision of what the future of general aviation should be: smart, strong, beautiful, and built with precision.
This is a purpose-built aircraft created for aviators who want it all — family flyers, long-range travelers, mission-driven professionals, and flight training organizations who demand performance without sacrificing comfort or safety.
MOSAIC-Ready, Mission-Ready
Fully MOSAIC-ready, the MC-04 features a Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of 2,425 lbs (1,100 kg), aligning with the expanded privileges under the FAA’s new regulatory framework. With four seats, 50-gallon fuel capacity, and up to 1235 lbs (560 kg) of useful load, it offers serious utility and endurance for extended missions.
From cross-country trips with your family to high-tempo training environments, the MC-04 is built to go farther, climb stronger, and carry more—with no compromises on efficiency or control.
Luxury + Craftsmanship
Step inside and experience a level of refinement rarely seen in this category. The MC-04 cockpit is spacious, ergonomically designed, and beautifully finished with premium aviation-grade leather upholstery, attention to tactile detail, and a modern automotive-inspired interior. Everything from the custom-stitched seats to the panel layout reflects an obsession with craftsmanship, engineered by a team with a deep legacy in Brazilian aerospace design.
Dual yokes, push-pull power quadrant, elegantly contoured sidewalls, and soft ambient lighting make this aircraft feel more like a luxury sedan than a rugged utility trainer—yet it performs like both.
Avionics that Redefine Expectations
Available in two avionics packages—Premium and Platinum—the MC-04 cockpit brings next-generation Garmin technology to a whole new level of capability.
The Premium Series includes Dual Garmin G3X Touch 10.6” displays, integrated engine monitoring, synthetic vision, moving map, traffic/weather overlays, and ADS-B IN/OUT compliance.
The Platinum Series adds the flagship GTN 750Xi Navigator, enabling full IFR operations, including WAAS GPS approaches, IFR routing, touchscreen flight planning, and vertical nav capability. Paired with the GMC 507 digital autopilot, it’s a complete IFR training platform in a Light Sport airframe—unmatched for pilots building hours or transitioning to complex environments.
Both packages are modular, redundant, and highly reliable—making the MC-04 a smart long-term investment for schools, owners, and fleet operators.

Power That Performs
The MC-04 is powered by the Rotax 916iS Turbo, a 160 HP, fuel-injected, turbocharged engine that offers the best power-to-weight ratio in the LSA category. With a service ceiling of over 14,000 feet and cruise speeds exceeding 130 KTAS, this engine thrives in hot-and-high conditions, heavy-load missions, and high-cycle use cases.
Quiet, efficient, and globally supported, the 916iS delivers altitude-compensated performance, reduced fuel burn (avg. 7 GPH), and a 2,000-hour TBO that matches the durability and lifespan expectations of the most demanding operators.
Safety as Standard
Built with a welded 4130 chromoly steel safety cabin, all-metal airframe, and premium AN hardware, the MC-04 was designed with structural integrity at its core. The aircraft is fully compliant with FAA ASTM LSA standards and built in Brazil under ISO-aligned quality systems. With a low stall speed, wide CG envelope, and outstanding stability in all flight regimes, the MC-04 inspires confidence from student pilot to seasoned instructor.
Operationally Flexible, Commercially Scalable
With excellent fuel economy, low operating costs, and superior dispatch reliability, the MC-04 is ideal for:
Flight schools
Time-building and instrument students
Aerial work and commercial use cases
Owner-operators who fly regularly or travel with family
It’s also designed with scalability in mind—ready for fleet integration, branding, leasing, and corporate use.
