It’s unique Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities, reliability and versatility in all weather and terrain conditions have established the reputation of the PC-6 as a rugged utility aircraft.
This Amphib Porter is fully capable of operating from short airstrips, or water in remote areas, at high altitudes and in all climates.
Years of operating experience, combined with selected components with a proven record continue to give the turbo porter an excellent reputation for reliability. The ease and simplicity with which the PC-6 can be maintained is a fundamental feature, as it offers excellent accessibility, rugged components, interchangeability, basic skill and maintenance manning levels and minimum downtime.
No matter whether high and hot or low and wet – anywhere, anytime you can rely on the PC-6 as a high quality, life-long investment.
One of the reasons for the great popularity of the PC-6 is its versatility. With minimum effort, the Porter can be converted for various missions: having just operated as a Para Porter Dropping Parachutists, the aircraft can be airborne again in a matter of minutes, being used as a platform for high quality aerial photography or as a breathtaking sightseeing flight with a water landing.
