Pacific Aerospace, the manufacturer of the P-750 and based in Hamilton, New Zealand, is proud to announce that its P-750 XSTOL III aircraft has received Brazilian validation and is now ANAC type certified in country.

The P-750 XSTOL is the world's most versatile utility aircraft. This PT6 turbine powered aircraft has transformed the industry with its unique quick-change modular floor system and easily removable role equipment, which allows the aircraft to be transformed rapidly between no less than ten distinct mission configurations.

The quick change, multirole floor allows P-750 operators to move easily between different role configurations to maximise aircraft utilisation. The different configurations include passenger/cargo; freight; agriculture, solid and liquid; fire-fighting; survey, geophysical and photographic; medical evacuation; skydiving; and security surveillance. Every new P-750 aircraft has the new modular floor configuration (1000 x 900mm aperture) as standard.

The versatility offered by the modular floor adds to the other unique characteristics of the aircraft, not least its ability to take-off and land within 800 feet carrying a load greater than its own empty weight.

Globally recognised as the ultimate skydiving platform, with the ability to carry 17 skydivers or six tandem teams enables you to achieve a profit even with small loads. The aircraft will climb from sea level to 13,000 feet with a load of 17 skydivers, make the jump run and land in approximately 16 minutes.

It is certified in 16 countries, including with FAA and EASA under FAR Part 23, and has also been certified against ICAO Annex 6 for single engine IFR commercial passenger transport operations.
