Interesting facts about the Air Tractor AT-802
✈ Air Tractor built the AT-802 to move big payloads efficiently, which is why many operators use it for crop spraying, aerial seeding and fertiliser work where turnaround time matters.
✈ Buyers often compare hopper and tank configurations because many AT-802 airframes can work in agricultural roles or switch into firefighting equipment depending on the mission and approvals.
✈ The AT-802 family includes both single seat and tandem seat layouts, which can influence insurance, training requirements and how comfortably a new pilot can transition into the type.
✈ Many AT-802 operators prioritise maintenance access and parts support because the aircraft is designed for high utilisation seasons with short downtime between sorties.
✈ The AT-802 is widely used as a Single Engine Air Tanker in wildfire support, and operators value its ability to work from smaller strips closer to the incident area.
✈ When comparing aircraft for sale, buyers often focus on corrosion history, hopper condition and airframe hours, because chemical and water operations can be hard on structure and systems.
✈ Ferry performance matters for owners who reposition between regions, so you will often see listings highlight fuel system options, tank setups and cruise settings.
✈ Many sellers include mission equipment details such as spray systems, fire gate setups or float preparations, because these upgrades can change how quickly the aircraft earns revenue.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing an Air Tractor AT-802
Air Tractor developed the AT-802 line into several recognised variants that serve different missions. The AT-802 is commonly associated with a two seat tandem cockpit configuration, while the AT-802A is a single seat cockpit version that many operators choose for agricultural work. For armed and special mission roles, the AT-802U adds military focused modifications and the L3Harris OA-1K Skyraider II is an ISR strike aircraft based on the AT-802U. Firefighting focused versions include the AT-802F, often referenced alongside the AT-802AF designation in some operator contexts, and the AT-802F Fire Boss variant which uses amphibious floats for scooping and rapid turn drops. Another special mission development is the AT-802L Longsword, an ISR and light attack aircraft based on the AT-802U, and L3 has also used the OA-8 Longsword name in some regions.

FAQs About the Air Tractor AT-802
How much does an Air Tractor AT-802 cost?
Pricing varies heavily by year, total time, engine condition and mission equipment. Industry reporting in 2023 put a new AT-802F base aircraft at approximately $2,800,000 USD, and Fire Boss conversion pricing was quoted at approximately $1,500,000 USD on top, while used agricultural AT-802 aircraft can vary widely depending on specification and remaining life.
What should I check first when comparing AT-802 aircraft for sale?
Start with airframe hours, engine time and prop time, then review corrosion history and any structural repairs. Confirm the mission configuration, such as ag spray system, fire gate, float preparations, and review logbooks for consistent maintenance and compliance status.
Is the AT-802 better as a single seat or tandem seat aircraft?
The cockpit layout depends on how you plan to operate. Single seat variants can simplify agricultural workflows, while tandem seat variants can support training, check rides and some specialised missions, which can be valuable for operators building pilot capacity.
Can an AT-802 be used for aerial firefighting as well as agricultural work?
Many operators select the AT-802 family because it supports multiple mission configurations. The specific capability depends on approvals, installed equipment and the exact variant, so confirm the installed system, weight limits and any supplemental certification details with the seller.
What makes an AT-802 listing stand out to buyers?
Clear detail on mission equipment, recent maintenance, component times and configuration is key. Buyers also look for clean documentation, realistic operating history and a specification that matches their intended work, such as agricultural spraying, SEAT firefighting or amphibious scooping operations.
