The Sonaca 200 is a two-seater low-wing aircraft with an all-metal structure and a 750 kg maximum take-off weight. Its classic structure is composed of frames, spars and sheets made of advanced aluminum alloy, which provides very effective protection against corrosion. The Sonaca 200 has a semi-rigid aluminum structure (spar, frame and skin covering construction). The fuselage, wing, and vertical stabilizer are made of aluminum alloy, while the main landing gear consists of a single aluminum alloy arch designed to withstand 6G loads. The structure is designed to be highly corrosion resistant, due to careful selection of optimum aluminum alloys and use of correct drainage, sealants and corrosion inhibitors. The choice of the riveting assembly is driven by the willingness to provide easy and standard repairs included in the Sonaca 200 standard repair manual. The two separate tanks with a usable capacity of 70 liters are integrated in the wings, in front of the main spar. The wings are equipped with electric flaps. Its classic horizontal plane includes an empennage and an elevator. Its elevator is also equipped with a manual trim. The structure is equipped with a large number of inspection hatches that can be quickly opened for easy maintenance. Some are hinged to optimize light maintenance.

The Sonaca 200 is equipped with the certified Rotax 914 engine, offering high performance for high climb rates and cruise speeds. The turbocharged Rotax 914 offers excellent performance at high altitudes, while keeping weight to a minimum. It offers a time between overhauls of 2,000 hrs. Engine features: 4-cylinder 4-stroke liquid/air-cooled engine with opposed cylinders Turbo charger with automatic waste gate control, avoiding over-boost and ensuring constant manifold pressure, as well as icing-free carburation without additional pilot inputs Dry sump forced lubrication with separate oil tank Fully redundant ignition and fuel supply with dual electronic ignition and dual electric fuel pumps.

The basic version of Sonaca 200 cockpit is fully equipped for night-VFR flight. A classical T arrangement of primary instruments has been chosen for ergonomic and traditional reasons. The position of each instrument and input has been optimized for efficient, logical and safe use. The instrument panel is equipped with modern instruments, including a digital engine control system, an artificial horizon and a navigational aid. The Glass Cockpit version, the "Sonaca 200 Trainer Pro", is equipped with TSO certified instruments.

The Sonaca 200 is equipped with high quality strobe, navigation and landing lights (fitted to both wings) for perfect visibility in adverse conditions (with LED technology). Wings are equipped with electrically operated slotted flaps with 3 setting positions (0°- 10°- 30°). Both students and instructors will appreciate the simple operation and access to the manual trim and power control handle The high-quality braking system is extremely powerful and scalable, allowing the aircraft to handle short landings and take-offs.
