Cessna Aircraft has received certification from the EASA, Argentina’s National Civil Aviation Administration and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines for its TTx fixed gear, high-performance piston single, the Textron Aviation unit announced on Monday at EAA AirVenture 2016.

That brings the number of countries that have certified the TTx to more than 40. The all-composite, 235-knot TTx features Garmin G2000 touchscreen glass-panel avionics and sidestick flight controls.

“We are excited to offer the precision and speed of the TTx to the European market and beyond, bringing customers a high-performance solution that fits both personal and business travel needs,” said Doug May, Textron Aviation’s vice president of piston aircraft. “We continue to invest in international certifications to ensure customers around the world can experience the capabilities this aircraft has to offer.”
