Known for durability and ease of maintenance, the AT-802 has become the workhorse of commercial agricultural aviation worldwide. Its design emphasizes operator safety with excellent visibility, responsive handling, and straightforward systems. Beyond traditional crop application, the aircraft has been adapted for firefighting, aerial surveying, and environmental monitoring.
