Læsø is also the name of the municipality (Danish, '' kommune'') on that island. The island is a location mentioned in several instances in Old Norse sources detailing Norse mythology.

The letters TB within the designation stand for Tarbes, the French city where the aircraft series is manufactured.

They are defined by their contemporary fit and finish as well as their interior size; compared to other four-seat single-engine aircraft, they are relatively roomy at roughly at the shoulder. In part, this is due to the fuselage having a pronounced "round out" above the wing. Adding to the actual spaciousness, the side windows extend up well into the roof line, g ...
