Hey, You didnt talk about fuel burn. Can you detail the operating costs, please? Thanks

@FlyingwithRich

It averages about 50 GPH - direct operating cost estimate (fuel, oil, engine & prop reserves, scheduled mx) under $500/hr depending on fuel price.

What a great thing this video is. Great landing and flying cap! Very enjoyable. Wish I had fifty more years and 1.2. ♥️

Remember working on Caravans 25 years ago. Biggest issue I remember was welding exhaust all the time. Every service required some welding it seemed. Also installed a couple cargo pods on them. Was a great workhorse.

Glad to see you making videos again.

Not being a pilot, I love how the pilot "Rich" is 100% relaxed during the presentation & for much of the flight his hands are not on the controls. This tells me the plane is like he said, easy to fly. I am watching because I promised my youngest son I'd pay for him to get his pilot's license next summer when he is home from college, & I imagine him flying this awesome plane.

What is the operational ceiling limitations

Now I understand why everyone flies 50yo planes. These things are really freaking expensive. Cool plane though.

I wonder what the Caravan would look like with wheel pants over regular size tires,, as well as any increase in speed as a result of being equipped with wheel pants?

@FlyingwithRich

2 жыл бұрын

Probably not much net positive when you consider extra weight, maintenance and cost. I think would cut into the utility component of the airplane for a very small speed benefit. Not sure it would look good either. Thanks for watching!

Not much depreciation on these from new, eh? At $1.6M or so it might be tough to turn a profit if that is what you need to keep her flying, which I would need to do ;-).....Lemme run some numbers and look at some routes and see what I come up with. A robust, beautiful aircraft, TY for the tour!

“Short” Caravan? C-208A….and they come with a belly pod standard. You should do a little more research. And they aren’t a good short field take off airplane…. Land fairly short with Beta, but heavy takeoff needs some runway. We flew out of 1800 ft runways in the Delta(western Alaska) with shortest being 1300 feet…..and we had -114 engines, not -114A….which would’ve been great tho the EX is of course the better choice…especially on floats…

Yes “Short Caravan” - sold lots of them and never heard of them called a 208A. Model the FAA shows is 208 - same with Cessna. Never sold any 208 or 208B (except SCM) with a Cargo Pod as standard - always an option. They are an excellent short field aircraft.
