The C295’s STOL capability combined with a strong landing gear enable it to operate in the most austere locations with the worst conditions for take-off and landings. For the same reason, it can carry much more palletised cargo (up to five 88 in by 108 in standard HCU-6E pallets) with direct off-loading through its rear ramp door. It can accommodate up to 71 seats, offering a much higher personnel-carrying capability than its competitors in this segment. With cabin dimensions of 12.7 m/41 ft 8 in (in length), the C295 has the longest unobstructed cabin in its class. The longest cabin, optimised for daily missions Most of the different variants can easily be re-configured to a transport version and back, due to the palletised modular mission systems.
