HI,
Any fellow can give me some information about the Bandeirant(performance,consumption,fields to play with).
Any tip about this airplane are welcome.We think to operate it on schedule flights and on nice airstrips in the bush
Thanks

Have operated a fleet of them in Nigeria for last 14 years...

Is not suitable for rough strips...

Is becoming expensive to run properly, engines are a real problem to get hold of and so are things like landing gear...

Lovely aircraft but needs decent runways and its' age is beginning to show...you would be better off with L410.

Hi JP ,

I am going back to htda soon after a long time !
Are you still there ? Is the same comp who wants to operate a BANDIT ??? If so I don't think this is the best plane for this part of the world except if you keep your wheels on the tarmac!

Tchao a +
