Avionics

GARMIN G3X with landing gear alerting system, the Garmin G5 Display are both standard equipment.
  

Airframe

The longer hull enhances hydrodynamic efficiency, therefore water takeoff and landings at the new maximum allowable gross weight of 1430 pounds (650 kg) for both water and land is easier than ever.  The new full composite tapered set of wings makes the SUPER PETREL XP even more efficient and stable.  Additionally, the newly engineered air-foil with carbon fiber strut fairings along with the built-in landing lights, adds elegance to this bi-plane configuration. 
State of the art nose and main wheels with larger tires improve the SUPER PETREL XP operational ability on unprepared fields such as grass, soft sand or rocky beaches. The electrically actuated / hydraulic operated landing gear retracting system is designed for ease of operation, low maintenance and simplicity, elimination of cables, arms and pulleys results in a 50% reduction of moving parts. Finally, and most importantly, the new streamlined fuselage with a one-piece canopy provides unparalleled visibility.
