AG-5B Tiger

The updated 180-hp Tiger — 28V electrical, throttle quadrant, split nose cowl. AGAC 1989–1993, Tiger Aircraft 2000–2006. ~337 built.

The AG-5B revived the Tiger with significant updates: 28-volt electrical system (24V battery, 28V alternator), center-console throttle quadrant, factory split nose cowling, improved exterior lighting, new fuel quantity indication, and aerodynamic improvements pushing cruise from 139 to 143 kts TAS. AGAC produced ~200 in Greenville, MS (1989–93); Tiger Aircraft built ~137 more in Martinsburg, WV (2000–06), many with factory Garmin GNS 430s and S-Tec 30 autopilots. Type certificate held by True Flight Holdings (Valdosta, GA). Key maintenance note: the 28V system means you must confirm voltage compatibility on every electrical component — lighting, avionics, starters, alternators. The modified baffling runs hotter than the AA-5B; an engine monitor is essential. For a full AA-5B vs AG-5B comparison, see the AA-5B Tiger page.
