The T-19 Stratomaster is the second in the line of the Transport series of aircraft, capable of carrying one ARJ or small vehicle.
It is effectively the aerial equivalent of the T-120 Steerhead.
It is the cheapest way for new players to get into the air, with the rental fare from Rusty's Rentals (182 CR) easily earned with one day's work doing taxi runs.

Operating envelope
The T-19 is a conventional atmospheric aircraft. It has no VTOL or thrust augmentation and is not intended for orbital flight or re-entry.
The upper operating limit is 100 m/s IAS (360 km/h indicated) or Mach 0.65, whichever is reached first. The indicated limit decreases at altitude as the Mach limit becomes controlling; temperature also affects it. Follow the displayed upper-speed limit and any lower limit for the current flap, landing-gear or door configuration. VNE is a limit, not a cruise target, and it does not permit abrupt full-control maneuvers.
Loading affects the lower end of the usable envelope. At high gross weight, clean level flight needs more nose-up trim at low IAS. If the aircraft reaches a trim stop, reduce the required flight demand or descend to a suitable altitude while respecting the speed limits. The nominal 20 km pressure-vessel ceiling is not a guarantee of level-flight capability at every weight and temperature. Full fuel with no cargo provides a broader training envelope than maximum-gross operation.
Takeoff
Set the indicated takeoff trim and use a gentle pitch input at the weight-dependent R (rotation) cue on the airspeed display. The cue and ROTATE callout are approximately:
| Loading | Rotation IAS |
|---|---|
| Empty | 26 m/s |
| Full fuel, no cargo | 34 m/s |
| Maximum gross | 46 m/s |
The cue increases with loading. It is not a speed to hold throughout the climb: after liftoff, accelerate, adjust power and retrim while respecting the displayed configuration and upper-speed limits. A lightly loaded T-19 accelerates rapidly at full thrust. Flaps and loading can allow the aircraft to lift before the rotation cue; avoid a sudden pitch pull.
Standard Features
- Retractable Landing Gear
- Trailing edge blown flaps, with detents at 0°, 8°, 20°, 30° and 40°. The default bindings are Shift+F8 to extend one detent and Shift+F9 to retract one detent; custom bindings may differ.
- VMU engine-failure warnings and flap-position confirmations. A flap confirmation sounds when the selected position is reached, in either direction.
- GPWS
- 320 km LRS
