Performance characteristics have made it particularly suitable for maritime roles. The aircraft requires a take-off run of just 762 metres and a landing distance of 576 metres under ISA +15°C conditions.

These numbers allow it to operate from relatively short coastal runways, including those in the Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep island chains.
