THE AIRCRAFT

Meet ICON A5

The A5 was designed around recreational flying from both water and runways. A high-mounted engine drives a propeller behind the cockpit, while retractable landing gear serves the land side of its amphibious role. The broad canopy and compact cabin make visibility a prominent part of its layout.

Its small scale distinguishes it from the utility flying boats elsewhere in the catalogue. The aircraft's systems and instruments should still be understood on their own terms: a recreational purpose does not make an amphibian simply a conventional light aircraft with floats added.
