Today I am going to tell you about the experience of what it is like to fly in a military transport plane such as the HOUSE 295M from Ecuadorian Air Force.

This is a flight report different from what we are used to on the blog. First, because of the format that you will understand below, and second, because of the type of aircraft..

With this introduction I tell you that today's format is informative, so more than reading what it's like to fly on this plane, We will learn about this magnificent aircraft in service of the Ecuador, but we will also see it inside and out thanks to the Flight Report on Youtube that can be seen here:

THE HOUSE 295M

The plane HOUSE 295M It is a tactical transport aircraft manufactured by Airbus Military., a division of Airbus Defense and Space. It was designed to transport cargo and troops in military and humanitarian missions in all types of terrain and weather conditions..

The CASA 295 has a length of 24,50 meters, a wingspan of 25,81 meters and a height of 8,18 meters. can carry up to 71 fully equipped soldiers 48 skydivers, and has a load capacity of up to 9.250 kg. It is equipped with two Pratt engines & Whitney Canada PW127G, that allow you to reach a maximum speed of 480 km/h and a maximum range of 2.600 km.

The Ecuadorian Air Force (FAE) acquired its first three CASA 295M aircraft on 7 august 2014, date of their official ceremony at the Base of Manta. The planes were acquired to replace the old and legendary transport planes Avro HS 748, and to strengthen the capacity of the FAE on troop and cargo transport missions, as well as in humanitarian and aid missions in case of natural disasters.

The HOUSE 295M of the FAE have been used in several important missions, including the transport of humanitarian aid in Ecuador and the continent. They have also been used in search and rescue operations in the Amazon region of Ecuador, and in the transport of troops and supplies in the border areas of the country.

Currently, FAE-1032 is active (the other two in maintenance process), which was the one we flew to Taura from Quito due to the celebration of Combat Aviation Day of Ecuador, living for the first time the experience of flying in a CASA 295, that joins others that we have shared in this space such as the Hercules L-100 and Boeing 737-200 both from the FAE.
