F406 TWIN TURBO PROP MULTI MISSIONS

More Flexibility for more versatility

Based on the Cessna 400 series, the twin turbo-prop F406 Mark I and Mark II are entirely manufactured and assembled in France

The F406 is quickly operational, powerful, flexible and at ease in all situations

It excels under the most difficult operating conditions, is able to land in complete safety on temporary hard or semi-prepared runways and requires very short distances for take-off

Its level of technical and economic preformance combined with an adaptability tailored to each customer's exact requirements, makes the F406 a totally versatile plane with the lowest operating cost in its category

The F406 is widely used throughout the world by Governments, the Military and aerial survey companies. It is the logical choice for those companies that require a modern PT6A powered turbine twin with rugged reliability and low operating and low maintenance costs.

The large 69 x 54cm camera hatch with electric doors is located opposite the double cargo doors permitting safe direct loading and unloading of expensive equipment.

The wide cabin can accommodate a number of consoles or additional seats.

F406 aircraft ARE used for Survey with Leica LiDAR, Fisheries Patrol with 360° radar, Border Patrol with 20” FLIR and one used for commuter.

We can now offer early delivery of new aircraft equipped with a choice of Honeywell, Garmin, Collins and Universal avionics with or without EFIS.

Each aircraft has the extra heavy duty corrosion protection that is unique to our aircraft and essential for overwater operations.

	Built on a modular platform with proven robustness, the F406 Mark I and Mark II share the following technical characteristics: Spacious non-pressurized cabin, Large Cargo door, Huge glazed surfaces for outstanding visibility, A single flat floor covering the entire length of the cabin, Retractable undercarriage with trailing link main landing gear For passenger and operator comfort, as well as to provide easy maintenance and servicing; the cabin is lined with east-to-dismantle composite panels which can be covered, on customer's demand with alcantara or ultra leather finishing. High capacity air conditioning ensures a pleasant flight even under the hottest conditions.

	The resolutely modern avionics systems include three main features Certified electro mechanics I pilot IFR, 2 EFIS screens 5 EFIS screens with flight management system, All of which is completes with a three-axis auto-pilot and a weather radar

	Many options are available for special missions or public passenger transport. A sophisticated full de-icing system enables the aircraft to fly safely under known icing conditions. The F406 Mark I and Mark II differ in terms of their power unit and the maximum take-off weight: F406 Mark I two Pratt & Whitney 500 SHP PT6A-112 turbines, Two three-bladed propellers MTOW 4468 kgs F406 Mark II two Pratt & Whitney 635 SHP PT6A-135 turbines, two three-bladed propellers, MTOW 4700 kgs (230 kg more payload In its new Mark II version, the F406 offers even more scope in terms of power, range, autonomy, take-off weight and climb performance in hot weather.

	Because each mission is unique The F406 Mark I and Mark II are perfectly suited for two types of missions: Special operations, Transport of passengers or freight and aerial work Based on a common platform, the F406 Mark I and Mark II configuration flexibility enables extreme customization, making the aircraft available for all "turnkey" missions. Transport missions Its performance level and reliability, low fuel consumption and a simplified maintenance mode make the F406 and ideal aircraft to achieve low operating cost and rapid return on investment. Its flexibility and adaptability allow for instance ad hoc passenger transportation by day and freight by night, with the necessary configuration change being entirely completed in less than an hour.

This radar can be replaced by the RDR 1400C search radar at an exchange price of approx 125,000€ In preparing this presentation we do not know of the area of operation or the aviation service capability available locally, therefore we have shown the standard aircraft with Electro mechanical instruments and No EFIS. We have supplied similar aircraft with 5 tube EFIS. GARMIN 600 EFIS can now be offered; this would replace the LH and RH Flight Instrument panels but feature the avionics package shown above. Universal EFIS is also available as an option. This shows the new S-TEC engine gauges, Gold Crown avionics with Universal UNS 1L Flight Management System.

The Pollution Surveillance detection and recording system. The core of the system is a mission management system that links all available information together and presents a situation overview to the operator for interpretation and further action. The MMS is based on GIS (Geographical Information System) technology, and the available information is presented against a backdrop of a digital nautical or terrestrial chart. The information from on board sensors and external inputs is presented live to the operator and also recorded digitally for later analysis or sent by SATCOM TT-3068A Data Unit data link for immediate analysis. A post-processing station, located at the mission control centre and/or at the aircraft home base will allow replay of the mission data for continued analysis and processing.

On Board Data Processing and analysis Sensor and data from all sources is processed and analysed on board and presented to the operator and digitally recorded either for real time transmission by SATCOM or for post flight and indepth analysis. Complex information is presented graphically for overview and to facilitate instant decision-making. We can also provide a pilot’s display in cockpit (with a simplified set of controls)

The main sensor of the Mission System is the Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR): this is a mapping radar for surveillance of large sea surfaces. The figure to the right shows an Ericsson SLAR antenna mounted on the aircraft fuselage. The forward motion of the aircraft is utilized by the radar to scan the sea surface perpendicular to the flight track. Whereas traditional radars typically achieve less than twenty echoes per radar scan from each target, the SLAR obtains up to a thousand. This gives a very high capacity for detecting small targets as well as for showing sea surface properties. Oil floating on the sea surface has a dampening effect on the sea clutter (capillary waves) resulting in less radar return to the aircraft from an oil slick than from the surrounding, undisturbed water surface, and this contrast is clearly visible in the SLAR image The SLAR will typically cover: • 18,000 km² per hour for oil spill and small objects on the water surface • 48,000 km² per hour for large vessels

FLIR - FORWARD LOOKING INFRARED A FLIR is an indispensable supplementary sensor for most mission profiles. It will add day and night identification and documentation capability to complement the information gathered from other onboard or external sources. The FLIR is integrated into the surveillance system. Imagery from the FLIR is annotated and stored together with the all other mission data. The FLIR can also be slaved to any target position or geographical reference in the database as selected by the operator, thus facilitating the sorting and identification of targets detected by other means. The FLIR is mounted in the nose with the processor mounted in the forward avionics bay for easy access. This unit has proven to be the most popular and most reliable one available.

Optional Equipment Search Radar A 360° or forward looking or search /tracking/ weather radar can be added to the system for general surveillance. The integrated system is designed to interface with a search radar for importing target tracks into the tactical map database. Track While Scan capability can be added. Whilst the SLAR unit has very high resolution it does not ’search ahead’ for vessels.
