The new SUPER PETREL XP is different from the previous LS version produced by Scoda Aeronautica in Ipeuna Brazil in almost every category. There are almost no interchangeable aircraft parts between the LS and the XP, however, it is quickly recognized as a Super Petrel (on steroids). The XP is the culmination of two decades from the professional and passionate team at Scoda Aeronautica in Ipeuna Brazil, providing their best engineering and manufacturing expertise to create this extraordinary light sport amphibian aircraft. Every piece of this new design has been meticulously engineered for strength, effectiveness, and performance while leveraging the incomparable safety record inherited from its predecessor. The longer hull enhances hydrodynamic efficiency, therefore water takeoff and landing at the new maximum allowable gross weight (water or land) of 1500 pounds (680 kg) is easier than ever.

The newly engineered airfoil with carbon fiber strut fairings and built-in landing and position lights add elegance to this unique bi-plane configuration. State-of-the-art nose and main wheels with larger tires offer improved operational performance on unprepared Fields such as grass, soft sand, or rocky beaches. The electrically actuated / hydraulically operated landing gear retracting system is optimized for ease of operation, low maintenance, and simplicity of design. The elimination of cables, arms and pulleys results in a 50% reduction of moving parts. The new streamlined fuselage with a one-piece canopy provides unparalleled visibility and comfort for the occupants. The SUPER PETREL XP can be equipped with either the 915iS Turbo (141 hp) or the 916iS (160 hp) Rotax engine.

There is a redesigned fuel system with dual gauge indicators. The baggage area storage volume has been increased by 60%. Cruise speeds of more than 115 knots in the new SUPER PETREL XP will be the new normal. This cutting-edge, high performance, cross- country Light Sport amphibian aircraft will satisfy all your mission needs. The new SUPER PETREL XP is simply the best at providing extraordinary fun on both land and water. It is common to see rates of climb between 1500 and 2000 ft./min. The 915iS provides 5.0 hours of endurance and the 916iS at 6.0 hours. Useful loads are now in excess of 550 pounds.
