Using the DHC-2 Beaver as a basis, the DHC-3 Otter was designed to be a larger and more powerful STOL aircraft. The finished aircraft is a single-engined (Pratt & Whitney R-1340), high-wing, short take-off and landing aircraft which seats 10 or 11 passengers, making it one of the most popular bush aircrafts of its time.

Viking owns the Type Certificate for the DHC-3 Otter and provides parts and support services to the fleet worldwide. If you would like more information on Viking's support for this aircraft, please visit our Customer Support page for details.
