IAI ARAVA

Title: IAI Arava

The IAI Arava was the first indigenously designed Israeli aircraft to enter production, and first flew in 1969. The aircraft was the subject of very optimistic sales projections by IAI but a fatal accident to the prototype due to flutter of the wing strut severely dented sales of the aircraft.

In the end only 103 were built between 1972 and 1988 with most finding a home with smaller air forces. The largest operator was the Mexican air force with 16 examples. By 2020 only a small handful remained operational around the world.

This title contains the manufacturer’s Flight Manual for the model 201 military variant of the Arava plus four manufacturer’s colour brochures and a set of publicity photos. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
