:compass: Purpose or Role in Game
STOL utility aircraft, twin turboprop passenger/cargo plane

:chart_increasing: Why should this aircraft be added?
Another small B Class aircraft, potentially could be thrown into A considering it’s only 2m larger than the B minimum regarding its wingspan. Plus it’s also still in operation especially in India where it is now being built by Hindustan-Dornier.

:airplane: Airlines that use it

Not sure which are current and which aren’t.

:magnifying_glass_tilted_left: Special characteristics or variants
STOL, alternate versions cargo and military

It seems like most of these are still only in use via militaries or privately owned, though it would still be awesome to see in game! They also sometimes visit CNN from the Indian Air Force in real life, so that would be a plus’s
