No light transport, in the12,500 lb. class, does such a variety of work in such diverse climatic conditions. From as far north as Norman Wells, NWT in the Canadian Arctic to the heat of Jamaica and the Virgin Isles and with 20 people on board.
With its remarkably robust landing gear - either in standard tricycle configuration supporting standard wheels, high flotation tires, skis or equipped with floats and aided by its Short Take-off and Landing capability, there are few fixed wing airstrips in the world that are not accessible to a Twin Otter.
Conventional design, with the wings incorporating double-slotted trailing edge flaps and ailerons which droop simultaneously with the use of the flaps to enhance STOL characteristics.
All systems designed to withstand the heavy grind of daily commuter landings on paved runways or improvised strips.
