      @@theo.c.2165 I worked for a FedEx feeder, look for feeders for job postings and requirements.
      Many were working on first officer programs to help feed pilots into their programs, with the idea to flow upwards from 208 to 408 to 757.
      Of course covid took care of the pilot shortage, and it's really going to depend upon how steep of a recovery happens.
      Until you reach the 757 level you will just be a feeder pilot, with whatever benefits they offer, it does pay better than a normal feeder job like flying for ameriflight or similar

Two things that stood out on the negative side: Square fuselage in a cross wind was shall we say challenging.

      It looks like a Twin Otter, but isn’t a Twin Otter.
      Its sole purpose is to haul packages and cargo economically from airports. It is not a STOL airplane, though it could likely be modified for STOL.
      It will handily beat the Twin Otter in almost every category including speed, range, payload, maintenance costs, dispatch reliability... with the sole exception of STOL which most operators don’t need anyways.
      Borek doesn’t need STOL running off ice runways they can make as long as they want. Harbour Air doesn’t need STOL taking off and landing on the ocean. Etc etc.

    The point is really the 19 passenger capacity. According to ICAO rules you can fly without cabin attendant. This means you are within reach of a major hub of an airline - without the hazzle of fighting through traffic.
    The low speed does not matter much as you will be faster (a lot) than road and train. Train generally transport you from where you don't live to where you don't want to go. It's ceiling of 25.000' means you don't have to pressurize the fuselage and that makes the plane lighter.

    Best of success to you. It looks like a great concept. Very simplified to manufacture, better for loading and unloading, and more fuel efficient compared to the Twin Otter. The Twin Otter is my favorite airplane to fly. Those STOL capabilities do come at a cost. The double slotted flaps and flaperons of the Twin Otter are complex mechanisms. What’s next, a stretched version to the size of a Shots 330 or 360? That used to require certification as a Part 25 aircraft. I love simplicity of your Citation Aircraft. I have flown many types of corporate jets in my career.

    Step One: Looked at a set of plans for a Twin Otter.
    I would list the other steps, but we all know step one was where the heavy lifting was done...

    You took the Beech 1900, put the wings on top of the fuselage, fixed the gear and put a different name on it. Easy.

    What's the reason for the exhaust stacks to be different each side of the cowling? Strange, but also kinda cool.

    • @rowerwet
      @rowerwet 3 года назад

      Keeping the exhaust soot off the wings, just like the 1900D stacks do

    Hi Cessna, why did you not build a rear ramp military version of the 408 for airdrop and paratrooper deployment?
    You could rival the C-212 Aviocar?

    I can’t explain what it is about the Cessna sky courier but she is beautiful and even if I had the money to buy one I wouldn’t buy a passenger variant I’d have the cargo version, a mahoosive well done Cessna on creating an aircraft that once people see what she can do it’ll be sky’s the limit. 🙏👍. I know I’ve posted about this before but she’s a type of aircraft that you can’t stop talking about.

      This will hold about 3 Caravans freight loads or 19 passengers, the Caravan can only hold 9 passengers or 14 small people in some countries.
      This is the real twin Caravan, not the 406 Reims made.

    Fixed gear, lower speed, thus a trainer, but to get beyond FexEx, making this a float plane (that also has a flat (section add on) bottom snow capability) would be a logical improvement.. for Passenger service, the Dornier 228NG, has got this beat

    It's a good LOOKING plane, as an Aircraft Mechanic, I love to see this beauty to be a part of the Philippine Navy as a LOW cost Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft, a good replacement for the PN's BN Islander, just put some ISR console from Elbit Israel, then you are GOOD to go...
