A year later, in 1969, the 300 was introduced and it bought with it improved payload and performance due to more powerful PT6A-27 engines, and as it turned out it was the 300 that became the most successful of the 3 models with over 600 built. However, the 100 and 200 both shared the PT6A-20 engine. Production began with the 100 series but this was quickly replaced with the 200 that featured improved STOL performance, a longer nose that was equipped with larger baggage and rear doors. Seating up to 20 passengers and still offering all the flexibility of its smaller sibling, the Twin Otter affectionately known as the Twotter, could be fitted with fixed gear, skis or floats, and with the added benefit of Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-20 turbine engines, made it a popular alternative to the Otter. In 1964 development began on a twin engine aircraft designated as the DHC-6 Twin Otter.
The Otter was a single engine aircraft that proved itself in some of the harshest terrain imaginable, but was limited by its passenger capacity (10) and the fact it had a single engine. Twin Otter DH6-300 Floatplane Twin Otter DH6-300 Ski Twin Otter DH6-300 Para The Twin Otter, designed and built by the de Havilland Canada company, was the next step in a line of successful STOL aircraft that, in 1953, had culminated in the DHC-3 Otter. I hope you enjoy flying around Lukla airport, Nepal. However, you can use this scenery if you are creating fs addons. This is a freeware scenery and is not to be solled as payware. Adds parking spots and a lot of objects including houses and hangars. Updates the current Lukla scenery to be much better. So access is restricted to either Helicopter or STOL aircraft, which leads me nicely into the aircraft known as the DHC-6 Twin Otter. Lukla’s runway can only be approached from one direction due to it being snuggled up to a rather large mountain, is on a precarious 19O angle and has a 2000 foot drop at the end. With Sir Edmund’s passing in January 2008, the Nepalese government announced the airport was going to be renamed The ‘Tenzing-Hillary Airport’. Lukla Airport (IATA: LUA, ICAO: VNLK) is a paved strip of asphalt with a small terminal building and facilities.
