Antonov An-32B

The civil freighter conversion of the military An-32, recognisable by engines mounted on pylons above the wing rather than through it — the arrangement that gives the type its propeller clearance and its hot-and-high performance. It holds a restricted-category type certificate from the Interstate Aviation Committee, number 79-32Б, which lists the equipment whose removal is what makes the aircraft unusable for military purposes. Certificated masses are a maximum take-off mass of 27,000 kg, a maximum ramp mass of 27,250 kg and a maximum landing mass of 25,000 kg, with up to 3% of landings permitted at 27,000 kg. Two Ivchenko AI-20D series 5 turboprops are rated at 5,180 equivalent shaft horsepower for take-off. The crew is three — captain, co-pilot and navigator — and the maximum operating speed is 460 km/h indicated, Mach 0.65.
