The Single Pioneer was specially designed for short take-off and landing (STOL) by Scottish Aviation Ltd., Prestwick, Scotland. It requires a take-off run of 75 yards and a landing run of only 66 yards. The aircraft can carry a pilot and 4 passengers.
The first Single Pioneer to come into service with the RMAF was FM-1011 on December 30, 1958. The aircraft were fully utilised and one of their roles was for Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC). They were phased out in 1967.
