The C-22J is the last aircraft to be adorned with the legendary Caproni name. Originally known as "Caproncino", then marketed as "Ventura". A very-light jet developed in the 1980s as a military trainer, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. Powered by two TRS-18 turbojets fed from a dorsal NACA intake, the aircraft reached Mach 0.47 and was fully aerobatic. The airframe shows its origin in a glider design, the Caproni A-21 Calif. After the merger with SIAI Marchetti, the project was cancelled in favor of the SF-260.
Please refer to the Reference in the FS Kneeboard and the Dynamic Checklist within the panel for flying and operating instructions. Additionally a full flight manual and an automated load form are available within the "documents" folder.

The FS-2004 release shall be used with a system capable of sustaining 40 FPS or more. Failure to cxomply with this requirement will result in landing gear misbehaviour and pitch instability. This issue seems inherent to FS-2004 and could not be fixed, hence the FS-2004 release is distributed as freeware.
