AVIAT HUSKY A-1 SERIES

Aviat Husky A-1 Series for Sale — America's Premier Bush and Backcountry Aircraft

The Aviat Husky is the definitive modern American backcountry aircraft — a purpose-built two-seat tandem tailwheel design that combines proven Lycoming four-cylinder power with exceptional short-field capability, rugged construction, and the handling characteristics demanded by pilots who operate from the kind of surfaces that most aircraft cannot even consider. Since Aviat Aircraft (formerly Christen Industries) introduced the Husky in 1987, it has established itself as the aircraft of choice for serious backcountry pilots, wilderness outfitters, wildlife surveyors, search and rescue operators, and pilots who need to reach places that have no runways — only open fields, river bars, or mountain meadows where a skilled pilot with the right aircraft can land and take off.

Husky Variants

• Husky A-1 — Original production model with Lycoming O-360-A1P, 180 hp. Established the Husky's reputation for backcountry capability and rugged construction.
• Husky A-1B — Improved variant with greater useful load and enhanced systems, offering better payload capacity for working operators.
• Husky A-1C-180 — Current standard production variant, Lycoming O-360, 180 hp, fuel injection option available.
• Husky A-1C-200 — High-performance variant with Lycoming IO-390, 210 hp, delivering improved climb rate and high-density-altitude performance for mountain operations.

Why Pilots Choose the Husky

The Husky's most valued characteristic is its combination of short-field performance and useful load. With full tanks and two occupants and their gear, the Husky gets airborne in distances that most four-seat aircraft require just for their takeoff roll, and lands in spaces that would alarm pilots of larger aircraft. The tandem seating keeps the fuselage narrow and the center of gravity manageable regardless of passenger weight distribution. The robust steel-tube-and-fabric construction absorbs the abuse of rough field operations without complaint.
