The PZL-106 Kruk ( German raven ) is an agricultural aircraft from the Polish manufacturer PZL . It is a single-engine, single-seat low- wing aircraft with a fixed chassis in all-metal construction. It is equipped with a spray system as standard.
history
The first flight took place on April 14, 1973. Between 1973 and 1995, 266 machines of different variants were built.
Since 2007 the PZL-106 BT 601 "Turbo Kruk" and the PZL-106 BTU-34 "Turbo Kruk" have been built and sold by EADS PZL ( Airbus Military Division ).
construction
During development, use was made of experience made with the types PZL-101 and PZL-104 . The PZL-106 is extremely robust, agile and has very good flight characteristics. Especially the slow flight characteristics are excellent. This is also due to the fixed slats that are mounted over the entire length of the wing.
use
During their use in the Agricultural Flight of Interflug , the aircraft were in action for up to twelve hours a day, completing up to 100 take-offs and landings. Refilling the spray container took a minute.
Received aircraft
The only PZL-106 from deliveries to the GDR still registered in Germany are the D-FOAB (PZL-106AR), which flies with the original license plate DDR-TAB , and the D-FOAA . The D-FOAB was delivered with double steering and was stationed as a trainer for the agricultural flight squadrons in Leipzig-Mockau . The aircraft was severely damaged in an emergency landing on March 11, 2011 as a result of an engine failure, but was rebuilt as a single-seater and has been flying again since March 28, 2012. The D-FOAA is a PZL-106A and is being overtaken at Grossenhain Airfield .
