About

A two-occupant Do 28, 250 kg heavier than the A-1 and approved for crew only. It is the one variant on the certificate that carries nobody in the back, and the first to print a landing weight. The cruise speed, range, ceiling and climb rate are EUROCONTROL's figures for the D28D 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.
