About

The heaviest Dornier 228, at 6,400 kg, and the one still being assembled in India under licence. Aircraft from production number 8191 carry a flat 5,940 kg zero fuel weight where earlier ones had it vary with take-off weight. The cruise speed, range, ceiling, climb rate and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the D228 type code rather than a certificate's: a type certificate states limits and weights, not cruise performance, and the source does not distinguish sub-variants.
