Patinthedesert Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I have been flying the C208 several times. I tried it first as a slightly faster plane than a Bonanza. It has been a pleasant surprise to fly. Even though it may look kind of like a bus it flies very nice. The takeoff and landing speeds are quite low, maybe because the flaps are a big portion of the wing. So short landings and takeoffs are good. Also the turbo-prop power gets it off the ground fast too. I tried it on a grass runway of just over 2000 ft and it was no problem. The behavior on turns, climbs and whatever has been smooth and no surprises. One thing that I have noted is that the AutoPilot controls on the Garmin instruments (don't know which model) are a bit different from other planes I've flown. It seems to do the same things but it is arranged different. Ackk - title should be Caravan - won't let me edit! Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
