History & design
Training in the jet age
The Magister first flew in July 1952 and began reaching the French Air Force in 1956. It was conceived specifically for jet training, giving pupils experience of a twin-engine jet before operational aircraft. The museum’s CM170R description places it within this transition in French military training.

An international career
Production passed through several French industrial organisations, while Germany, Finland and Israel also manufactured the aircraft under licence. The type served for years with the Patrouille de France. Some operators also used Magisters in combat, so its history extends beyond the training and display roles most associated with it.

Systems & details
Systems in the AzurPoly rendition
AzurPoly’s Magister documents custom hydraulic, fuel and oxygen circuits, including an emergency hydraulic circuit and fuel-dumping capability. Both cockpit positions are operable, with an EFB for settings and a smoke system reflecting the type’s display role. Those are the documented features of this MSFS package. They should remain separate from Restauravia’s different rendition and from the museum’s history of the real CM170R.
