About

The Skyvan stretched into a thirty-seat commuter, keeping the same square section and braced high wing. It and its 360 successor carried a great deal of American regional traffic in the 1980s. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on. The cruise speed, range, ceiling, climb rate, wingspan, length, height, maximum take-off weight and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the SH33 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.
