Cavalon Amphib
Amphibious Cavalon on floats with retractable gear — for work over land and water.
A land and water platform for professionals
The Cavalon Amphib is a land and floating platform designed for professional use. It is equipped with floats and retractable gear, a powerful Rotax 915 — or even 916 — engine and modern avionics. Its well-proven floats allow smooth take-offs and landings on water, while the pneumatically lowered landing gear makes operating from normal airfields easy. Safety features include LED gear position and locked indicators. A robust airframe and modern avionics provide safety and reliability in the air and on the ground.
Comfort and versatility
The spacious cabin and ergonomic seats keep passengers comfortable, and the large windows give panoramic views — making the Cavalon Amphib a good choice for passenger transport and scenic tours. It is also suited to in-shore and off-shore coastal patrol, offshore oil and gas operations, aerial photography, search and rescue, cargo transport and more.
Whether you need an aircraft for marine or land operations, the Cavalon Amphib is ready for the job. Tell us about your mission and we will find the right configuration.
