Air International Highlights the "Rebirth" of the Twin Otter by Viking
COMMERCIAL TWIN OTTER 400 Twin Otter Rebirth 94 AI.02.12 TWIN OTTER 400 COMMERCIAL Viking is carving a Twin Otter-shaped niche in some very difficult markets with its 21st century Series 400 version of the type, as Joe Woodard explains estern Canada’s Viking, newly manufacturing the classic de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, had a good year in 2011. In May, with its first Wfive aircraft complete and ten more in final assembly, Viking was granted full Transport Canada production approval for its upgraded Twin Otter Series 400. Then, at the Paris air show, Viking trumpeted the delivery of the first of a dozen Series 400s to the government of Peru for resupply of its remote jungle stations. Next, PT Airfast was declared as a new customer, ordering four of the 19-seat STOL workhorses for charter to the Indonesia mining industry. Finally, Viking announced delivery of the last of three Series 400s (in its current order) to legacy Twin Otter operator Trans Maldivian Airways (TMA), launch customer for the floatplane version. In an unprecedented move, Viking has brought an almost 50-year-old design back into full assembly-line production after a hiatus of almost 25 years. But there have been significant upgrades. Most visibly, the Series 400 has a new Honeywell ‘glass cockpit’ and 21st century avionics. Less visibly, it has new, more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 turboprops and Hartzell propellers. And almost invisibly, it includes a growing number of light, maintenance-free composite components. These changes are designed to provide evolutionary improvements in safety and maintainability; lower acquisition, operating and maintenance costs; and carefree operations. -

Revised Listing of Amateur Built Aircraft Kits
REVISED LISTING OF AMATEUR-BUILT AIRCRAFT KITS Updated on: June 22, 2021 The following is a revised listing of aircraft kits that have been evaluated and found eligible in meeting the “major portion” requirement of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts, specifically, § 21.191(g). • This listing is only representative of those kits where the kit manufacturer or distributor requested an evaluation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for eligibility and should not be construed as meaning the kit(s) are FAA “certified,” “certificated,” or “approved.” • There are other aircraft kits that may allow a builder to meet the “major portion” requirement of § 21.191(g), but those manufacturers or distributors have not requested an FAA evaluation. • The placement of an aircraft kit on this list is not a prerequisite for airworthiness certification. • The primary purpose of this listing is to assist FAA Inspectors/Designees and other interested individuals by eliminating the duplication of evaluations for “major portion” determination when the aircraft is presented for airworthiness certification as an “Amateur-Built Experimental.” • Kit manufacturers or distributors whose status is unknown are identified with a question (?) mark and their address has been deleted. Additional Information and Guidance • Advisory Circular (AC) 20-27G, Certification and Operation of Amateur-Built Aircraft. • FAA Order 8130.35B, Amateur-Built Aircraft National Kit Evaluation Team • Contact your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) or Manufacturing Inspection District Office (MIDO). Those publications and other information pertaining to amateur-built experimental aircraft are available online at http://www.faa.gov/aircraft. -
