About

The heavier Skyvan, at 6,220 kg — 550 kg above the Series 3, bought with one seat and with a landing weight that no longer matches the take-off weight. The cruise speed, range, ceiling, climb rate and take-off distance are EUROCONTROL's figures for the SC7 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.
