The MS-880B Rallye Club is a version of the popular Rallye family of touring and training aircraft developed by SEDE MORANE – SAULNIER. Morane-Saulnier launched the development of the MS. 880 Rallye in 1958 to meet a French government need for a new civil aviation aircraft. The Rallye featured a single engine, low-wing monoplane design with fixed landing gear, distinguished by its movable flaps and leading edge slats that enable low-speed operation. The prototype first flew on June 10, 1959.
SEDE MORANE – SAULNIER, a French manufacturer with a long aviation history, received type certification for the MS-880B and the more powerful MS-885 on November 21, 1961, initiating production. The MS-880B is permitted to carry up to four occupants and has a Maximum Take-off Weight of 1,700 lb (770 kg). The aircraft was widely used for touring, training, and glider towing, including by various military forces, such as the French Naval Aeronautics Department, for pilot training. Morane-Saulnier was later succeeded by SOCATA, which continued the Rallye aircraft line.
Maintenance across the MS-880B is supported by a variety of height access products, including the Reach Deck Platform, Modular Stepover Platforms, Super Trestle Scaffold, Ultraraise, Super Service Stand, Easyraise, Bridge Deck, Cantilever Platform, Aviation Chock and Cone Trolley, Super Maintenance Platform, Branach Fibreglass Platform, A Frame Aviation Platform, and Platform Ladder Warthog.
