The F406 is a unique aircraft, capable of achieving all types of missions. This twin-engine aircraft is equipped with Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6 turbines, ensuring all-round reliability and availability. The airframe, unpressurized, is simple to maintain and offers the lowest operating costs in its class. The aircraft is content with the most basic runways, which has made its reputation in Africa or in the most inhospitable places. Its carrying capacity, both in passengers and cargo, makes it suitable for short- and long-haul transport missions. Once equipped with mission systems, the F406 is used by fisheries, government or military forces for maritime or land surveillance missions, or civilian operators for mapping, surveillance or transport missions.

Few aircraft are as versatile as the F406. The aircraft can be configured quickly into cargo, mission, or passenger configurations between two flights. The large main access door (1.2m - 3.7 ft) facilitates loading paletts or any other other load using motorised load movers. A dedicated pilot access door is used for crew embarcation without going through the fuselage, allowing load optimization. Range and payload offered are amongst the best in this category of aircraft.

The F406 is easily customized for specific missions. From the installation of photo and video hatches, data acquisition masts, gyro-stabilized cameras, or LIDAR topographic radars, the 406 is the ideal platform for the installation of mission systems. By combining the carrying capabilities, flight performance, range and reliability of this aircraft with modern mission systems you will get the perfect aircraft, tailored to your needs, no matter how complex they are.
