XSTOL
EXTREMELY SHORT TAKE-OFF & LANDING
XSTOL = The ability of an aircraft to take-off and land in less than
800 ft (244m) while carrying a load greater than its own empty weight.
This aircraft has such unique Extremely Short
Take-Off and Landing (XSTOL) capabilities that
it demanded a class of its own. The result of
more than fifty years of evolution, the
P-750 XSTOL is the world’s first XSTOL aircraft
unmatched by any other production aircraft.
The XSTOL delivers unsurpassed capability to provide:
• Take-off and landing in less than 800ft (244m) at MTOW, even when it’s
hot and high.
• Operate off semi-prepared strips in all types of terrain.
• Carry a load of more than 4,000lb (1814kg) even in hot and high conditions.
• Rugged, dependable construction with extended airframe/engine inspection
intervals of 150hrs.
• Proven, globally-supported components from leading aerospace companies,
including Pratt & Whitney Canada, Garmin, Hartzell and Honeywell.

THE

UTILITY AIRCRAFT
“We operate into approximately 300 remote bush strips
throughout Papua New Guinea ranging from 400-800m
level to 380-600m with 5-18% slopes. There is no airstrip
in the country (currently open and maintained) that we
cannot operate the XSTOL into.”

The P-750 XSTOL is the latest aircraft from
Pacific Aerospace and has consistently
proven itself while operating in some of the
toughest environments an aircraft can face.
Since it started manufacturing aircraft in 1954, its
manufacturing facility in Hamilton, New Zealand
has produced more than 600 extraordinarily capable
aircraft. Pacific Aerospace has built an excellent name
for rugged aircraft that are easy to fly and maintain
and are optimised for every job they undertake.
“The P-750 XSTOL performs where others can’t.
Our customers’ success is our success.”

PERFORMANCE ENHANCED PROFIT
Access more strips, more often, with more
payload. The XSTOL can access twice as
many of the world’s landing strips compared
to other utility aircraft. And it does so while
carrying a 3,968lb (1,800kg) load.
While some of these strips can be reached by small six-seater aircraft
carrying minimal loads, the XSTOL has proven its ability, in the toughest
environments, to carry up to three times the load off the same strips,
achieving in two hours what previously took a whole day’s flying.
Its unmatched reliability and low maintenance costs provides you with an
aircraft that maximises profitability and can get the job done, allowing you
to make a profit on routes that were previously marginal.

LANDING
At AAD2008, renowned South African pilot Chris Briers flying a standard
production P-750 XSTOL weighing 4,200lb (1,909kg) and complete with cargo
pod, put the aircraft through its paces. The demonstration climaxed in Chris
achieving a take-off distance of less than 104ft (32m) and a landing distance
of 164ft (50m). This crowd-pleasing demonstration left no uncertainty to the
extreme STOL performance and manoeuvrability of the P-750 XSTOL.

PROVEN
IN THE HOTTEST, HIGHEST MOST
RUGGED ENVIRONMENTS
High altitude, hot conditions, heavy loads.
In the world’s hottest environments, the XSTOL’s high lift wing comes
into its own carrying full loads out of short strips. This gives the
operator the ability to operate out of the same air strips, all day, every
day, regardless of temperature and without compromising load.

QUICKTURNAROUND
TURNAROUND
A multi-tasker that makes the most of
every minute.
The P-750 XSTOL is designed to do a job and every attention has been
given to ensure that it is a reliable aviation work tool – there to get a
job done and generate the maximum profit for its operators.
Quick turnarounds, essential for productivity, are facilitated by double
rear cabin doors and a large single compartment cargo pod with a
rear ramp enabling the XSTOL to be quickly loaded and unloaded.
The configuration of the aircraft can be quickly changed between
passenger and cargo roles within 30 minutes. All the standard
passenger seats can be removed and stowed in either the storage
compartment at the rear of the cabin, or in the cargo pod for quick
conversion between roles on return legs.
TOUGH
RELIABLE, EASY TO MAINTAIN & OPERATE
READY TO DEPART
Aircraft only make money when they are flying: the
XSTOL is ready to fly more than any other aircraft.
LOW MAINTENANCE
With its 150-hour airframe/engine inspection interval, the XSTOL has lower
maintenance requirements than any comparable aircraft. The aircraft has been
designed to be easily maintained and embodies over fifty years of knowledge and
experience gained from previous models of Pacific Aerospace agricultural aircraft.
These aircraft average five minute flight cycles with maximum loads and operate
from remote semi-prepared strips in New Zealand hill country, all day every day.
A tough proving ground.
EASY TO REFUEL AND CHECK
With its low wing the XSTOL is easy to refuel, wherever it is positioned. Pre-flight
checks and refuelling can be carried out without a ladder, unlike high wing aircraft.
Not only is turnaround faster, it’s safer – especially in bad weather.
QUALITY COMPONENTS
By utilising well proven, reliable and globally-supported systems – such as Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6A-34 turboprop engines, Hartzell props and Garmin avionics – we can ensure
that high-quality, reliable support is always within reach anywhere in the world.
NEW SKYDIVE WORLD RECORD SET WITH XSTOL!
The XSTOL helped Jay Stokes to set a new world record for total number of
skydives in one day. During a 24-hour period starting on September 8, 2006,
Jay made an amazing 640 jumps. A major element in making this feat possible
was aircraft support.
Jay declared that he would not have been able to achieve this record without the
XSTOL as his jump platform. The XSTOL’s rapid climb rate and ability to quickly
descend with no open door speed restrictions helped Jay to attain more jumps.
There is no other aircraft in this class that has better performance. The XSTOL
continues to demonstrate that it’s the best skydive aircraft in the world.
