Another Alarus CH-2000 Antarqui delivered to Peruvian Air Force

An Additional SEMAN Alarus CH-2000 Antarqui, serial number 492, has been completed by the Peruvian Air Force Maintenance Service (SEMAN) and was flight tested on July 9.

The two-seat flight training aircraft was then due to undergoing final preparations before delivery to the Peruvian Air Force. This was the second of the type to be delivered this year. The air force plans to acquire 18 to replace its Zlin Z 242L Guru fleet. Of the 18 Gurus originally delivered only five are thought to remain active. At least six Antarquis have been delivered but one was damaged beyond repair in a forced landing on February 4, 2019.

The Antarqui is a licencebuilt version of the Alarus CH-2000 produced in the US by the Georgia-based Aircraft Manufacturing and Design Co. They are assembled locally in Peru by SEMAN with some specific modification to meet Peruvian requirements.
