It is also known under the index NG-5. Initially the plane was conceived as a four-seat aircraft, but after calculating the final cost of the project, it was not profitable in this format. As a result, the developers decided to opt for a two-seat model, but made the cabin as comfortable as possible.

The cockpit is designed with maximum comfort for pilot and passenger: orthopedic seats, possibility to adjust pedals to the feet length, separate braking system is implemented. Seats are located in the format “side by side” – optimal for joint work of a pilot and a student.
