The CASA C-212 Aviocar is a [[turboprop]]-powered [[STOL]]-capable [[cargo aircraft]]. Its basic configuration includes a high-mounted wing, box-like fuselage, and conventional tail. The C-212 has been designed to operate in austere environments for extended periods without ground support apparatus.<ref name = "shepard sustain2020"/> Features such as STOL performance and rugged [[landing gear]] fitted with low-pressure tyres enables it to operate from unpaved fields and under [[Hot and high|hot-and-high]] conditions.<ref name = "shepard sustain2020"/> For greater simplicity, the aircraft's [[tricycle undercarriage]] is non-retractable.

The C-212 cabin has a maximum occupancy of 21 to 28 passengers. In a paratroop configuration, up to 24 paratroopers along with one jumpmaster can be accommodated on foldable sidewall seats, while in a mixed configuration, it can transport up to ten soldiers and a single vehicle.<ref name = "shepard sustain2020"/> Since the C-212 does not have a [[Cabin pressurization|pressurized]] [[fuselage]], it is limited to relatively low-flight-level airline use (below {{convert|10000|ft|m|abbr=on}} MSL), and is thus suited for short legs and [[regional airline]] services.
