C212 S/N 301

C212 301 en vuelo

 

The C212-200 can be defined as a high wing, turboprop, very versatile STOL (Short Take-Off and Landing) aircraft, capable of taking off and landing in unprepared runways and operate in not- or low-equipped airfields. Its service ceiling is 25,000 ft / 7620 m MSL. Considering its cabin is not pressurized, a mandatory oxygen supply is available to operate at altitude above 10,000 ft / 3000 m. A rear door/loading ramp at the back of its main cabin allows direct and easy access for people and instrumentation. High-wing design eases safe maneuvring around the aircraft during ground operations. Four rails along the body and inside the cabin, two of them in its floor and two in both sides, provide a safe and quick mean to fix racks and equipment to the frame of the airplane.

The C212 s/n 301 aircraft has been modified in deep to perform atmospheric in-situ measurements and flight tests. Two PMS canisters have been attached under the wing surface to install probes, the pool of which includes among others CAPS, PCASP-100X, FSSP-100er, OAP-2D2-C and OAP-2D-GB2. An airborne FTI (Flight Test Instrumentation) module records and monitors aircraft performance parameters in real time during the flight operations.

On-board instruments to measure temperature, pressure, relative humidity or GPS position are also available. Furthermore, a number of inlets exists to feed, when required, scientific instrumentation with air samples taken outside. Certified standard racks for 19-inches-wide modules are available to allocate scientific equipment, computers and displaying modules.
