Short-field operations and simplified piston engine management were key drivers in expanding the mission-ready P2012 aircraft configurations.
An 18 month certification campaign ensured impressive takeoff and landing performance, while still maintaining a 99% commonality of parts with the standard P2012 Traveller series aircraft.
Both engine options are rated for 375 HP, with the Continental coupled to a three blade MT-Prop propeller and the Lycoming coupled to a four blade prop.
Slow charge cycles and the possible limitation of the maximum charge level per cycle, mean that real storage capacity would fall, and only a few hundred flights would drive operators to replace the entire storage unit.
Following the successful completion of the preliminary P2012 STOL flight test campaign in early 2022, the aircraft has entered its final configuration moving on to the certification phase in 2023.
The P2012 Sentinel SMP can be equipped, at the customer's request, with a quick-conversion kit that transforms it from Special Mission Platform to passenger version.
