Aircraft Modifications For Payload Increases
AEVEX-200HG
OPERATIONS TO 12,500 lbs. (5670 Kg)
The modification of the DHC-6-200 Twin Otter to an AEVEX 200HG enhances the DHC-6-100 & DHC-6-200 Twin Otter capabilities by increasing the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) from 11,579 pounds (5252 Kg) to 12,500 pounds (5670 Kg). This modification effectively upgrades the Twin Otter series -200 to match or out-perform a Twin Otter DHC-6-300 series. This is due to the fact that early model Twin Otters are typically hundreds of pounds lighter than later model -300 series Twin Otters. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Transport Canada and EASA approve this upgrade for Standard Category operations. This modification can also be applied to DHC-6-100 aircraft with some additional modifications. Contact AEVEX for available 200HG aircraft.
