PZL M-28-05 Skytruck SN-60YG of the Border Guard.
The civilian equivalent of Bryza-bis is the plane built on the basis of the M-28-05 Skytruck from the third production series No. 1 AJE 003-11, used by the Polish Border Guard since 2006. The plane received the SN-60YG registration, and during the delivery to the user, the plane temporarily wore the SP-PDG registration.
PZL M-28-05 is a version produced from the 3rd production series. The main difference between the -02 version and the -05 version is a completely new radio-navigation equipment. EFIS displays were used in the cockpit instead of analog instruments. The fuel supply was increased by installing more tanks in the wings. The plane received a certificate for the load capacity of 7 500 kg.
Due to the wide range of tasks that the aircraft performs, it has received very extensive equipment. The aircraft was equipped with the ARS-400 M radar, mounted under the fuselage, with a range of 220 km. The aircraft was equipped with a FLIR Star Safire II warhead, an IR / UV marine scanner, modern rescue and patrol equipment and avionics with a laser gyroscope. The navigation system is based on the LCR-92 laser gyroscope. The plane has a controllable searchlight mounted on a boom attached to the landing gear pylon under the right wing. However, the plane does not detect submarines and has a fixed landing gear. The rear hinged door allows for the discharge of the life raft. The aircraft is powered by two PT 6 A-65 B engines and Hartzell propellers.
