Developed from the ICA IS-23A, it was a conventional high-wing cantilever monoplane of all-metal construction with fixed tricycle undercarriage and seating for six people within an enclosed cabin.
The first prototype made its maiden flight on 23 May 1971[1] with the type gaining its type certificate on 13 May 1972. It was exhibited at the 1973 Paris Air Show. Ten examples were built, including the prototype,[2] some of which were fitted with a tailwheel undercarriage for glider towing,[1] with five going to Romania's Aeroclub for training and glider towing.
The aircraft with construction number 5 and registration YR-ISF is on display at the Clinceni Airfield near Bucharest.
