The CT-144 Tutor is a single-engine subsonic jet. It is used for basic and advanced pilot flight training. The all-metal, pressurized Tutor has side-by-side seating, an arrangment which allows the instructor total visibility and control at all times. Also, the turbo-jet is fast enough to introduce novice student pilots to the problems of high speed flight. The Tutor is also used by the SNOWBIRDS.
