Stored on the ramp, the optional autonomous loading dolly permits un-loading of cargo or palletized equipment without ground support. |
The C295 unobstructed cargo cabin is acknowledged as the most efficient in its category. Its constant-section design and optimized cabin height facilitate the easy loading of pallets, containers and other payloads, eliminating the wasted overhead volume on other aircraft with taller, but shorter, cargo boxes.
With a cabin three inches longer than a C130 Hercules, the C295 offers space for storage of all SAR gear while providing space for crew rest and preparation – including galley and toilet, optional data management console, stretchers for MEDEVAC operations, and four ergonomically-designed spotter seats for maximum comfort during extended searches.
Commonality between the cabin cross-section with the CH47 helicopter enable the direct transfer of standard military pallets between the fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft without the need to reconfigure cargo loads.
