A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.
Aircraft and configuration
The German-built Aquila AT-01 is a two-seat aircraft with a carbon- and glass-fibre structure. A210 and A211G versions use a 100 hp Rotax 912S and an MTV21 constant-speed propeller. Picus X's X-Plane package pairs the A210's analog panel with the A211G's Garmin G500 installation and offers changeable wheel fairings.

History & design
An approved very-light-aircraft design
The AQUILA AT01 received its German type certificate on 21 September 2001 under the JAR-VLA requirements for very light aeroplanes. That certificate provided the basis for subsequent AT01-200 development.

Later variants retain a common foundation
AQUILA’s later AT01-200A handbook explicitly traces its approval to the original AT01 certificate. It documents that model’s own equipment and operating scope; the shared design history does not make every A210 and later AQUILA configuration interchangeable.
