Zusammenfassung:The United States Army Aviation Engineering Flight Activity conducted an evaluation of the C-12A aircraft. During the test program four flights totaling 3.8 hours were flown. Soft soil and simulated rough terrain operations were conducted. The C-12A met the requirements of the prime item development specification for operating on soft soil. If the aircraft is to be operated on rough/unprepared terrain, one deficiency was found during this test program: failure of the right main landing gear while braking over simulated rough terrain.
