This is my favorite plane on Microsoft flight simulator 2020 and I use to fly it a lot in MFSX as well. I don't know why I like it so much seems like a good rugged bush plane with good range and weight capacity, and fun to fly in harsh environments.
Over $2,000,000.00 U.S. :) and that's excluding insurance, options, and an engine upgrade if you by used. The 675hp engine from Cessna was underpowered from the get go.
If you read thru all 270+ hull loses with the Caravan, you'll find 61 are directly attributed to power lose or engine failures, do the same thing with the King Air 200 and you'll find 8 hull loses due to engine failures and two of those were double engine failures because the pilots just ran the aircraft out of fuel. Im not against any single engine machines, but when you use them for mini airliners, safety will never go up.
The Caravan is a nice plane. Very under powered and it's maximum weight is way too low. It really needs 1000 HP and a 10,000 maximum weight. Hot and heavy, the runway performance is reasonable but it can't climb very well and cruising airspeed is too slow. With these drawbacks it is still a very good airplane. TKS deicing, oxygen system and radar is a must but I can live without the cargo pod. One note about the video, if you put 10 passengers in it with luggage you will only be able to carry about 1000 pounds of fuel or about 3 hours (no reserve). For executive travel the PC 12 and TBM are much better.
Haha mate its a great old bus. Around Australia there isn't much better. I like the cargo pod makes life a lot easier when you're single pilot ops doing 10 minute turnarounds. Even on a hot day when density is plummeting before a storm they go better than a half loaded 206.
Turbine engines are more reliable than piston engines, but they are designed, built and maintained by men it is impossible for them to be 100 percent reliable. That being said I have flown all over the southern US in a single engine aircraft, but to suggest a single engine turbine is just as reliable as a well designed twin in a commercial operation is a very ignorant statement, I have personally seen over a dozen in flight turbine engine failures on multi engine aircraft and all made safe landings.
Over a dozen failures, that seems excessive. I have over 4000 hours (not a lot compared to some pilots) flying behind PT6 engines of various types and never even so much as a hiccup. Turboprops seem to get abused by poorly trained pilots ie exceeding manufacturers limitations. Over the last ten years I have had only one flight delay of 2 hours due to an igniter box and still able to pick up passengers on time. Other than that one flight, 100% dispatch reliability.
Read thru all 341 accidents for the Cessna Caravan, you'll find 61 confirmed accidents due to power loss or engine failures. If you consider the other numerous aircraft that utilize the P&W PT-6 turboprop engine, a dozen inflight engine failures is not unreasonable.
Caravan beats PIlatus PC-12 hands down on interior roominess and payload -- you can carry 8 normal persons and all their bags on a 3 hour flight in the Caravan with fuel reserves easily. Caravan true airspeed is about 170 kts. and it is not pressurized. Pilatus is much faster, pressurized, a lot prettier and at least $1 million more expensive. If your missions are mostly fun, flying to the islands or the mountains or
I've flown many, many times on both, short hops through the mid Atlantic states. We carried a mix of passengers and cargo, I preferred the Caravan for our mission.

Such a wonderful aircraft! I never get bored seeing it fly in from time to time! I so wish to fly in one someday
My favorite GA A/C, hands down!!! Would love to have one with the Cargo Pod and Oasis Package, to include the toilet!:)

THE GRAND CARAVAN IS THE BEST LIGHT AIRCRAFT THAT THERE COULD SEE IN MY LIFE
I jumped out of these! They are nice aircraft!
"...all kinds of applications..."
DRUG SMUGGLING!
Smug Druggling?
@@petrichor446 😂😂😂😂😂
@@petrichor446 lol
Bendix/King employees! lol They're the only ones I can think of. The Garmin is the Top Shelf for sure. I can't imagine anything better.
my son is co-pilot on cessna 208 b &soon he will be a captain
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Hope he had luck and like its job!!!!
the caravan is such a great plane
te amo cessna

Ohhh si,me enamore de la Grand caravan
Just beautiful
It's a Wonderful Airplane
yes you can, as long as you hold a Private pilot certificate.
Is this the largest single engine aircraft manufactured today? I can't remember if the video mentioned that.
Man....that's a long way from the Cessna 150 that I learned to fly in.
After watching this video I wanted to get Cessna Caravan 8-)
Am in Love
Someday! I'm working on it
Did you get it friend?

Curious to know if ever it's used as an RV ?
Cousin Eddie, perhaps.
im sold
how much is the price of brandnew year built 2019 of that cessna grand caravan?
@markuslebt not true, executive versions have convertible toilet seat in the back with privacy curtain
😍😍😍
LOL!!! :)
I have no Bendix King experience, but a bit of Garmin!
@gfunkwillyfry
ok, thanks for the info... :)
but i heard that u can't get payed with a PPL.
but Caravans are mostly commercial...
You can buy them for leisure if you want.
awesome powertrain got to say....
Who would choose the Bendix/King over Garmin?
The dislikes are from people that like piper aircraft.
lol, jk they are both really great
Or from BeechCraft lovers
GamePlayWithNolan
GamePlayWithNolan no. no

I would never click a dislike for a good aircraft like the Caravan. Maybe the dislikes are from people who prefer a well designed twin.
this is the best plane
really a good single engine airplane.
Ill take your whole stock
AKA The Turban Suburban
what license u need to fly cessna caravan ? can u fly it with a PPL ?
Would make a great drug hauler.. 'limited only by ones imagination'
I'm surprised the FedEx machines don't have the upgross kit.
I use it On Flight Simulator
thicc plane
Yea, they are expensive, but a good aircraft, but when I get my PPL I'll prob start with a 172/180 with wipline's
........675 amphibian.... And I'll be on my way....see ya!
How much is a grand caravan
500k to million $
I want a caravan :D

crssna205
Turbine not turbin
limited only by imagine and 4 million dollars
CAN I HAVE ONE!!!!
You can have two my son, 1 Amphibious and 1 Super Caravan
Pc-12 knows all this and it's waaay faster and has longer range.

PC12 handles icing a lot better. Caravan can only be flown into light icing for short period of time.

Planes for rich people. Not for us poor folk :/
Not if you're a pilot! ;D
Companies that want to make money?
Kodiak...
D =A Caravan.... but kinda like a van in the sky... ughhhh///
This voice over is horrible. When was this produced?
Enough so far as the Frenetic Intrusive Obnoxious and Autism-Inducing Pseudo-Music is concerned. Jesus, Mary and Joseph !
