– FS2004 Piaggio P-166DL3 SEMAPPH

FS2004 Piaggio P-166DL3 SEMAPPH. The Piaggio P-166A is a light small twin. An exotic two-engined prop that sold all over the world. The P-166DL3 is the actual production version of a plane that first flew in 1957, now with turboprop engines, new avionics, increased fuel capacity and completely new hydraulic and electric system. Its origin is traced back to the Piaggio P-136, a light anphibian, from which the P-166 keeps the wings, the engines and the tailplanes. The first P-166A flew in November 1957, and the DL3 is dated 1976. The APH version (Aero-Photograammetric) was originally built featuring a flat bottom with holes for cameras and other devices, planning to use the unit for logistic squads that never formed. So the APH internal features were generally limited to military high density transport, paratrooper transport or cargo. Units fitted with APH originally projected photogrammetric capibilities are very rare. The SEM version can be easily identified by the big sonar under the nose, the FLIR under the left wing and a search light on the right wing. It is a maritime antismuggling patrol aircraft, and is used by the Italian coast guard and “Guardia Di Finanza (Finance Guard). The aircraft waits to be repalced by a new version, the P-166DP-1, with PT-6A engines. This model is 740 Kbs with about 21000 polygons in about 160 assemblies. Features clickable dynamic photoreal VC with non-planar throttle quadrant. New here is the photoreal panel. Detailed internals. By Mario Noriega.
