The new whole aircraft for sale! GA8, a cost effective choice for freight, parachuting, short-distance transportation and special missions (such as surveillance).

The GA8 Airvan is an excellent cost effective multi role aircraft that lends itself to a variety of operations. One instance of role optimisation is to change from the passenger to freight configuration which can be very quickly accomplished with our unique feet locking mechanisms,designed specifically for GA8 Airvan to meet the latest safety certification requirements.

The Airvan Freighter is designed to be capable, reliable, efficient and a cost effective load hauling aircraft. Parcel freight requires a commodious cargo compartment - theAirvan provides an area of 3.4 m³(118 cubic ft)that is accessed by a rear, in-flight, sliding door measuring 42.5 inches by 42 inches. The size of entry allows for fork lift loading ensuring quick turn around times. Cabin floor height, a critical factor in relation to employees' Occupational Health and Safety, is designed to reduce bending and lifting.

Other unique features include the removal and blanking off of the duplicated cockpit dual controls, the removal of the light weight baggage locker and associated nets and the removal of the passenger cabin ventilation fan and associated ducting - all intended to reduce the empty weight even further and thereby increasing payload.

The standard GA8 Airvan has a cockpit that is specifically designed for single pilot operation with all controls, instrumentation, avionics and essential selectors and switches grouped for comfortably access by the pilot in both VFR and IFR configurations. To utilize the now vacant space on the RHS of the cockpit a special parcel bin has been certified and this locker can hold approximately 100lbs of smaller parcels that the pilot can retrieve whilst seated, or can be accessed from the RHS cockpit door to allow rapid delivery of these small items without having to access the main cargo area via the large sliding rear cabin door .

The GA8 Airvan, initially certified in 2000, has now established a history of consistent service with world-wide operators and demonstrated capability as a rugged, reliable, efficient and highly cost effective platform for numerous tasks including passenger transport, tourist scenic flights, freight hauling, emergency work associated with flood and fire relief, medevac, and as a tactical reconnaissance aircraft. It’s load carrying ability and low fuel consumption at loiter have made it an excellent platform for consideration as a dedicated observation and communications platform.

The ability to carry full fuel, a crew of three and over 550lbs of mission payload have made the GA8 Airvan ASTRA the most cost effective platform available.
