AIR TRACTOR VALUE: A better-built, versatile

airplane pays its way every day.
Better Value Begins 3

with Innovation.
An innovative spirit is what drove Leland Snow to design an improved agricultural
aircraft in 1951. And over sixty years later our founder’s spirit of innovation is still
reflected in every aircraft that rolls off the Air Tractor assembly line.

Today’s Air Tractor, however, has grown to be more than the industry leader in agricultural
aviation. A host of other industries have discovered the versatility, the performance, the
value, and the all-around utility that makes an Air Tractor an Air Tractor.

It seems that every few years another new task is discovered at which the Air Tractor
excels. Aerial application will always be our mainstay. But today you’ll find Air
Tractor aircraft hard at work performing duties as diverse as aerial firefighting, drug
eradication, fuel hauling, oil spill cleanup, aerial surveying, and even law enforcement
and military applications.

From the 400-gallon AT-402 to the world’s largest ag plane, the 800-gallon AT-802,
our broad product line means there is an Air Tractor that’s right for your operation, be
it large, small, or somewhere in between.

With Air Tractor, there’s never the need to force your

operation to fit the aircraft. We’ll build the aircraft that
will fit your operation, maximize your efficiency, and give
you the best possible return on your investment.

Air Tractor is now producing and selling more ag aircraft

around the world than any other manufacturer. And
backing up those airplanes and their operators is the
industry’s most extensive and most experienced global
dealer network, providing sales, service, and parts.

At Air Tractor we value and protect our reputation within

the ag aviation industry as the most proven, most
preferred ag aircraft manufacturer. And our company’s
commitment to making our aircraft ever better – for the pilot, the operator, the
industry, and the environment – has never been stronger.
 Safety

4
Pilot Safety,
First and 5

Foremost.
Since the beginning, Air Tractor has built
aircraft that help pilots walk away from high-
energy ground impacts. The aircraft’s legendary
survivability is backed up by more than 50 years
of aerial spraying and forest firefighting.

Our focus on pilot safety is evident from the

high-strength steel tube airframe and cockpit
cage, AmSafe Inflatable Restraint System
airbags, and spring steel landing gear on
every aircraft we produce.

Air Tractor’s full-scale wing spar fatigue test

program is another example of our commitment
to continuous improvement of our aircraft.

While other aircraft manufacturers may offer

theoretical wing spar life calculations, only Air
Tractor substantiates its wing spar life with data
from full-scale stress tests with g-force loads
replicating actual aerial spraying operations.

Air Tractor has tested 48 fresh-off-the-assembly-

line wings, subjecting them to thousands of
hours of realistic stress load spectrums from
actual flight data collected from 16 different
instrumented Air Tractor airplanes during spraying
and firefighting flights.

This wing testing initiative is part of Air Tractor’s

long-standing Safety System TriadTM, a wing
fatigue management program recognized by the
Federal Aviation Administration as a model for
the industry.

Bottom line: No ag aircraft manufacturer has

done more for pilot safety and aircraft integrity
than Air Tractor.

AT-402B
AT-402B

With the AT-402B, Air Tractor’s goal was to combine turbine power with affordability.
We achieved it; first by designing a compact, structurally efficient airframe and then
specifying an exceptionally quiet, powerful and reliable PT6A turbine engine for faster
climb rates and increased cruise speed. We designed a long, high-aspect ratio wing
with Hoerner wing tips to increase wing efficiency, reduce drag and to lower stick and
rudder forces so the controls are light and responsive, greatly reducing pilot fatigue.

The end result is an ag plane that pilots love to fly, even at the end of a long day.
When your operation is ready to transition to turbine power, it’s time to investigate
the AT-402B.

Performance Notes
AT-402B with PT6A-15AG engine has 680 SHP
at 2200 RPM.

Sealed engine induction system locks out

contaminants, extends service life and reduces
maintenance.

Improved oil cooling system lowers temps in flight

and on the ground.

Cruise at 160 m.p.h.; work at 140 m.p.h.

AT-502B
AT-502B

When the time is right to make the step up to even greater levels of efficiency,
business-savvy operators are partnering with the AT-502B to make their operations
more productive and profitable. The AT-502B’s powerful Pratt & Whitney turbine
engine delivers the type of efficient performance operators have come to expect from
Air Tractor, and a big, 500-gallon payload means more acres sprayed with fewer
ferries, plain and simple.

The AT-502B’s 52-foot wingspan – with Hoerner wingtips – improves handling

characteristics, allowing wider swaths for wider profit margins. Features like boost tabs
for lighter aileron response and air conditioning are all standard. Since manufacturing
commenced in 1987, AT-502s have proven their reliability and versatility wherever
they have been put to work – becoming the most popular and profitable aircraft in the
ag industry today.

Performance Notes
AT-502B with PT6A-34AG engine has 750 SHP
at 2200 RPM.

Working speeds up to 140 m.p.h. with an 85 ft.

swath width.

Comfortable, functional cockpit gives pilots

panoramic visibility.

Impressive power-to-weight ratio allows short

takeoff rolls and amazing climb rates.

AT-504
AT-504

As older pilots retire, there’s a growing need within the ag industry to train and
prepare their replacements. With his many years in the cockpit and listening to pilots,
Leland Snow clearly understood the challenges associated with training new ag flyers,
and he set out to solve them. The solution: the AT-504.

Based on Air Tractor’s proven AT-502B airframe and utilizing the same Pratt &
Whitney PT6A-34AG turboprop engine, the AT-504 is a superior platform for aerial
application and instruction, without sacrificing performance or flight characteristics.

Side-by-side seating offers significant advantages over the conventional tandem seat
trainer, creating more natural and efficient conditions for communication and load
sharing between the instructor and trainee.

The 504’s high power-to-weight ratio allows short takeoff rolls and impressive climb
rates. Its 608-mile range and 85-foot swath width make it a cost effective business
partner for operations of all sizes. The impressive working speed of the AT-504 equals
that of the AT-502B. Its cruising speed is just a few miles-per-hour less. And the flight
characteristics provide excellent preparation for trainee pilots moving up to the AT-502
or another turboprop ag plane.

The AT-504 was designed to meet the needs of a challenging ag business where a
two-seat trainer must provide more than just performance: it must also make a profit.

Performance Notes
AT-504 with PT-6A-34AG has 750 SHP
at 2200 RPM.

Training comes easy with side-by-side seating

and full dual cockpit controls.

Take off distance is 1,150 ft. with a rate of

climb of 860 f.p.m.

Cruise at 151 m.p.h.; work at 120-145 m.p.h.

with an 85 ft. swath width.

AT-602
AT-602

Wide swath width. Fast ferry times. Big payloads. It’s not hard to see why the AT-602
is a hard-working favorite of ag operators. Its 630-gallon hopper and 12,500 lb. FAA
certificated gross weight make the AT-602 a logical next step when you need to turn
your operation’s productivity up another profitable notch.

Work your AT-602 a thousand acres in the morning. You could save three loads over
a smaller plane and still have plenty of daylight for more jobs.

With its Pratt & Whitney PT6A-60AG turbine powerplant, its 56-foot extended
wingspan, and its wide-stance spring steel landing gear, dependable high-volume
production is what the AT-602 is all about. But in the pilot’s seat, you’ll find the
AT-602 is surprisingly light on the controls, with a spacious and functional layout and
a host of pilot comforts. For 5-gallon work on center-pivot circles, the AT-602 is a
dream; you’ll knock them out in a single load.

Performance Notes
AT-602 with PT6A-60AG engine has 1050 SHP
at 1700 RPM.

Slow-moving, 5-blade Hartzell prop keeps down

the noise near communities.

With AT-802-sized tail/rudder, tail gear and spar

caps, the AT-602 is built for big performance and
extended service life.

A low-mounted gatebox provides high velocities

and wide, uniform patterns.

Landing gear springs and heavy-duty brake discs

are built for heavy landing weights.

AT-802A
AT-802A

With a payload of 9,200 lbs. and an 800-gallon hopper, the AT-802A stands alone.
No other single-engine ag aircraft on the market offers more working capacity. But
high capacity means little without high efficiency. So, with its combination of power,
speed and payload, its long feature list, and its wide array of Air Tractor options,
the AT-802A presents attractive new income opportunities for operators. Big aerial
spraying jobs are only a start for the AT-802. These versatile aircraft are hard at work
around the globe fertilizing and reseeding forests, applying dispersant on oil spills, and
lots more. Ferry speeds of up to 190 m.p.h. help operators drive to work faster, stay
longer, and complete the job in a single load. That’s productivity unmatched in the ag
aircraft industry.

Performance Notes
Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65AG engine delivers 1295
SHP at 1700 RPM.

Optional PT6A-67AG engine provides 1350 SHP

at 1700 RPM.

All-metal, sealed control surfaces with boost tabs

make the AT-802 agile and responsive.

Large, 5-blade Hartzell propellers give increased

initial thrust during initial takeoff roll.

Factory-installed air conditioning is standard

equipment.

Standard Hoerner wingtips increase wingspan

to 59.2 ft., for a wider swath and more payload-
lifting surface.
