Flight tests on the Prestwick Twin Pioneer indicated it possesses features which impart relative short take-off and landing characteristics considered desirable for Army light-cargo aircraft. The Prestwick Twin Pioneer does not have sufficient weight-carrying and radius-of-action capabilities to meet the stated Army requirements for a light-cargo aircraft. The stability and control of the Prestwick Twin Pioneer is adequate to meet Army requirements; however, it does not offer advantages over present Army utility aircraft in this respect.
