AFP to acquire light-lift aircraft - official GMANews.tv 07/16/2008 | 01:23 AM MANILA, Philippines - The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) will acquire three brand-new or refurbished light-lift aircraft to increase its mobility, a high-ranking military official said Tuesday. Maj. Gen. Jesus Llanto, deputy chief-of-staff for plans and head of the AFP Modernization Program, said they plan to replace the Air Force’s N-22 Nomad plane with light-lift aircraft such as turboprop planes because the Nomad’s spare parts are hard to get by and quite costly. "It can still fly, but we have to admit that we would spend more for the maintenance of the aircraft," he told reporters in an interview at Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City. Each light-lift aircraft would cost around P980 million, Mr. Llanto said. "We just completed the bid documents, contracts are up for bidding next month." The military’s capability upgrade program has two phases. The first deals with enhancing internal security and has a funding of P11.7 billion. The second phase worth P22.2 billion will address territorial defense. It has yet to be funded, Mr. Llanto said. He said up for delivery within two to three months are communication devices such as night vision goggles and radios worth P4 billion, modern mortars and inshore patrol vessels for units in insurgency-afflicted areas. Mr. Llanto said the new equipment will increase efficiency by 70%.— J. F. S. Valdez, BusinessWorld |

my friend zw, hindi light lift aircraft ang P3 if the PAF wants a plane more or less in the class of the Nomad, pwede na siguro ang Chinese Harbin Y-12, cheaper but proven in service in various air forces. http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-phot...1/1/0514113.jpg |

Time to revive interest in the M28 Skytruck/Bryza, which is in the class of the Nomad and could maybe do double duty as patrol and light transport. And in the grand tradition of the AFP buying American, the Polish manufacturer, PZL Mielec, is now 100% owned by Sikorsky so that would probably help swing it.![]() |

sir, the P3 will not be a good replacement for the Nomad in the light-lift role. Its primarily a Maritime Patrol Aircraft and I doubt if it can be classified as light-lift aircraft if it will be used as a transport aircraft. |

comrade zero wing, we are talking about the replacement of our LIGHT TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT, the N-22 NOMAD, and the P-3 is not a light transport aircraft but a LARGE, MARITIME PATROL CRAFT (please do check and read the topic before doing quotes and replies)... anyway, the M-28 SKYTRUCK is one of the best options to replace our existing nomads, yes it is built in Poland (by PZL mielec) but under Sikorsky management... and can be used in numerous other roles (MPA, surveillance, fire fighting, etc...) |
