The '''CASA C-212 Aviocar''' is a [[turboprop]]-powered [[STOL]] medium [[cargo aircraft]] designed and built by [[Spain|Spanish]] aircraft manufacturer [[Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA]] (CASA). It is designed for use by both civil and military operators.

The C-212 was developed during the 1960s in response to the [[Spanish Air Force]]'s need to replace much of its transport aircraft fleet; it was designed to perform numerous missions, including [[air medical services]], [[Paratrooper|paratrooper transport]], and utility roles. Three years after its [[maiden flight]] on 26 March 1971, an order was secured from the [[Spanish Air and Space Force|Spanish Air Force]]. Several other customers emerged, initially from the military sector; but interest from civilian airliners also led CASA to develop a dedicated civil version of the C-212. Production of the type at the [[Seville]] facility would continue for 40 years, with 485 aircraft produced there.<ref name="c212official"/>

[[Indonesia]] emerged as a key early customer for the C-212. In 1975, Indonesian aircraft company [[IPTN]] successfully secured the rights to [[licensed production|license-produce]] the aircraft in [[Bandung, Indonesia]]. CASA assisted in the establishment of a production line there; by 2000, it had constructed 95 NC-212s. The majority of Indonesian-built aircraft were sold to domestic customers, although some exports were also recorded in the [[Asia]]n market. In February 2013, it was announced that [[Airbus]] (the successor company to CASA) had agreed on terms with [[PT Dirgantara Indonesia|PTDI]] (IPTN's successor) to fully transfer production of the C-212 to Indonesia. For a time, PTDI produced both the NC-212-200 and -400 upgrade. In 2014, PTDI stopped producing the -400 series to focus on the improved NC-212i model.<ref name=":0" />

By December 2012, there were 92 operators of the C-212 around the world.<ref name=AIN1feb2013/> These operators included numerous charter and short-haul aviation companies, as well as various national air services, which commonly used it for [[Cargo aircraft|transport]], [[surveillance aircraft|surveillance]], and [[search and rescue]].<ref name = "allsize airlifter"/> The C-212 has been popular among [[skydiving|skydivers]] and [[smokejumpers]] due to a rear ramp arrangement that is uncommon amongst its competitors. In particular, Australian airline [[Skytraders]] has used a number of C-212s to support Australian scientific research teams across [[Antarctica]] and the [[Southern Ocean]].

==Development==
During the late 1960s, the [[Spanish Air Force]] operated a number of outdated piston-engine transports, including the three-engine [[Junkers Ju 52]] and two-engine [[Douglas C-47]]. Seeking to fulfil the service's transport modernisation needs, [[Spain|Spanish]] aircraft manufacturer [[Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA]] (CASA) developed a proposed aircraft, designated ''C-212''. It was a twin-engine 18-seat transport aircraft capable of performing a variety of military roles, including passenger transport, [[air medical services]], and [[Paratroop|paratrooper]] roles, while also being suitable for use by civil operators.<ref name="AI105p32">Simpson ''Air International'' January 2005, p. 32.</ref> On 26 March 1971, the first prototype conducted its [[maiden flight]]. In 1974, the Spanish Air Force decided to purchase the C-212, which had acquired the name ''Aviocar'', in order to update its fleet.

Several airlines expressed interest in the C-212, particularly in light of its success with military operators; CASA thus decided to pursue development of a dedicated commercial version. In July 1975, the first examples of the civilian version were delivered. In 1997, the improved -400 model was introduced, featuring a [[glass cockpit]] and more powerful [[Honeywell TPE331]] engines.<ref name=AIN1feb2013>{{cite news |url = https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2013-02-01/airbus-military-transfers-c212-production-indonesia |title = Airbus Military Transfers C212 Production to Indonesia |first = Chris |last = Pocock |date = 1 February 2013 |work = AIN |access-date = 3 December 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171204114613/https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2013-02-01/airbus-military-transfers-c212-production-indonesia |archive-date = 4 December 2017 |url-status = live}}</ref> In August 2006, a total of 30 CASA-built C-212s of all variants reportedly remained in airline service with various operators around the world.<ref>''[[Flight International]]'', 3–9 October 2006.</ref>

In July 2010, [[Airbus Military]] CEO Domingo Urena-Raso stated that the company could no longer afford to produce the C-212 in Europe.<ref name=AIN1july2011/><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.flightglobal.com/c-212-assembly-set-for-indonesian-shift/93797.article |title = C-212 assembly set for Indonesian shift |publisher = flightglobal.com |first = Craig |last = Hoyle |date = 3 June 2010}}</ref> Production of the type at Airbus' [[Seville]] facility progressively slowed to only four aircraft in two years.<ref name=AIN1feb2013/> In December 2012, the final Spanish-assembled C-212 was delivered to its customer, the [[Vietnam Coast Guard]].<!--<ref name=AIN1feb2013/>--> By the time the line shut down, it had produced 477 aircraft for 92 operators.<ref name=AIN1feb2013/>

=== Indonesian production ===
[[File:NC-212 TNI Angkatan Udara. Skadron Udara 4.jpg|thumb|[[Indonesian Air Force]] NC-212]]
In 1975, Indonesian aircraft company [[IPTN]] successfully negotiated terms with CASA to produce up to 108 C-212s [[licensed production|under license]] in Indonesia.<ref name = "Vértesy 226">Vértesy 2011, p. 226.</ref> Accordingly, IPTN and [[Nurtanio]] took part in the manufacture of the aircraft, with assembly taking place at IPTN's facility in [[Bandung, Indonesia]].<ref name=AIN1feb2013/> CASA provided technical assistance to set up the production line, sending a delegation of technicians to Bandung to train local personnel. The relative simplicity of the C-212's design was credited with aiding the process.<ref name = "Vértesy 226"/>

Under the license terms, IPTN was permitted to sell the aircraft throughout the Asian market.<ref name = "Vértesy 226"/> But the majority of Indonesian-made NC-212s were sold to domestic customers; by 1986, only six aircraft had reportedly been exported. By 2000, a total of 95 NC-212s had been produced,<ref name = "Vértesy 226"/> though the type's production had become a secondary priority to other ventures such as the larger [[CASA/IPTN CN-235]].<ref name = "Vértesy 227">Vértesy 2011, p. 227.</ref> IPTN also undertook development of more advanced versions of the aircraft.<ref name = "Vértesy 244">Vértesy 2011, p. 244.</ref> Between 2004 and 2008, all of the [[jig (tool)|jig]]s and fixtures necessary to produce the NC212-400 were supplied by Airbus and installed at Bandung, enabling Indonesia to become the single-source manufacturer of this model.<ref name=AIN1feb2013/><ref name=":0"/> The licensing agreement was extended in 2006.<ref name = "Vértesy 236">Vértesy 2011, p. 236.</ref>

In July 2011, Airbus announced a strategic agreement to collaborate with [[PT Dirgantara Indonesia|PTDI]] (IPTN's successor) on the C-212.<ref name=AIN1july2011>{{cite news |url = https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2011-07-08/indonesian-aircraft-maker-gets-help-airbus-military |title = Indonesian Aircraft Maker Gets Help From Airbus Military |first = Chris |last = Pocock |date = 8 July 2011 |work = AIN |access-date = 3 December 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171204114616/https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2011-07-08/indonesian-aircraft-maker-gets-help-airbus-military |archive-date = 4 December 2017 |url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.flightglobal.com/-airbus-military-dirgantara-to-market-upgraded-c212-to-civilian-military-users-/107776.article |title = Airbus Military, Dirgantara to market upgraded C212 to civilian, military users |publisher = flightglobal.com |first = Greg |last = Waldron |date = 9 November 2012}}</ref> Under the agreement, Airbus undertook an 18-month first phase of support to PTDI, after which it was to provide PTDI increasing high-value industrial activity, including C-212 upgrades and production transference.

==Design==
[[File:CASAC-212Cockpit.jpg|thumb|C-212 cockpit, February 2004]]
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.
