Designed and manufactured by Pacific Aerospace in Hamilton, New Zealand, the PAC P-750 XSTOL can trace its origins to the PAC Cresco and Fletcher. Whilst retaining the PT-6 turboprop engine and wings of the Cresco, the P-750 has a larger fuselage and a modified tail, and is an extremely versatile aircraft that lives up to its multi-role utility definition.

The unique design of the PAC 750 allows for Extremely Short Take-Off and Landing (XSTOL). Take off and land in less than 800 ft (244m), even in hot and high conditions and on semi-prepared airstrips in all types of terrain.

Orbx's PAC 750 XSTOL brings four roles of the P-750 to Microsoft Flight Simulator: skydiving, agricultural, cargo and passenger.

Systems & Avionics A good-looking aircraft isn't the only thing a modern day flight simmer wants. It also has to have accurate systems. The real-world aircraft is single pilot IFR capable, just like the in-sim rendition. Two COM and NAV radios, along with an EHSI, CDI and GPS allow full IFR flight.

The Orbx PAC 750 has an accurate fuel and electronics system, derived from real-world documentation.

Furthermore, we've gone to the level of simulating the functions of most circuit breakers. For example, popping the circuit breaker of one of the buses then using the guarded bus tie switch will restore power to both buses.

Other than the standard six-pack, the PAC 750 also has custom-coded Electronics International gauges to monitor the engines, fuel and electric systems. These gauges have been meticulously recreated with all of the traits of the real-world gauges like the startup sequence, refresh rates, sticky indicator lights and value rounding.

A panel-mounted tablet allows you to configure parts of the aircraft, like connecting ground power, switching the display units, and enabling TDS GTNXi or PMS50 GTN750 support.

The PAC P-750 XSTOL is a low-wing, single-seat, 10-place short take-off and landing (STOL) utility aircraft manufactured by Pacific Aerospace of New Zealand. The company designated the P-750 as an “extremely short take-off and landing” aircraft (hence the name XSTOL) due to its exceptional short field performance.

The P-750 evolved from the company’s Cresco utility aircraft from interest by skydivers who relied on the Cresco, but who wanted an aircraft with a larger fuselage. The P-750, which can carry up to 17 skydivers, closely resembles the Cresco, notably its main wing and tail section, but has a much larger fuselage.

The aircraft is used throughout the globe for a very wide array of applications, including passenger and freight service, fire suppression, military, aerial surveying, agriculture, skydiving, and medical transport.

The PAC P-750 XSTOL features a polyhedral main wing with straight leading and trailing edges, a standard empennage, and fixed tricycle landing gear. It measures 36 feet, 5 inches in length, has a wingspan of 42 feet, and is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 turboprop engine. The powerplant delivers 750 horsepower and turns a 3-blade Hartzell reversible propeller.

The PAC P-750 XSTOL can take-off using 721 feet of runway and has a landing ground roll of 543 feet. It has a range of 1,357 miles, climbs at 1,067 feet per minute, and has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet above sea level. The aircraft stalls at 67 miles per hour (full flaps), cruises at 161 mph, and has a never-exceed speed of 196.

The Pacific Aerospace PAC P-750 XSTOL was designed for maximum utility and it has been delivering on this intent since it took its first flight in 2001. With a powerful engine and a design that maximizes control throughout a range of speeds and flight conditions, aviators can feel confident inside its cockpit whether flying out of a modern airport or into a crude strip hacked into the side of a jungle mountain.
