#12 2017 Cessna Caravan For Sale - Quick Tour and Flight

[@hboju]

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.

[@kellyabercrombie9769]

Awesome video! You’re the first person I’m calling the instant my bank account supports a 1.8 million dollar airplane.

[@universeunknown1880]

Rich I like your very laid-back review of the plane. Watched many of your vids and never felt like you just want to sell the plane, it’s always more informative than sales pitch. Thank you !

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@seannewton9083]

I’m in a 2019 grand caravan that we use for mapping. One of the most reliable aircraft I have ever been in.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you for watching!

[@FondelMikeRotch]

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.

[@Random-rt5ec]

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.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you and good luck to your son!

[@Newberntrains]

Cessna has been a great platform to learn on for decades it’s a very forgiving plane for small mistakes compared to a Mooney or cirrus will bite you

[@ExtremeRecluse]

That is one of the coolest looking aircraft

[@dominio62]

Few months ago in January 2022 we buy from Fujairah UEA C208 year 2014 with 836 Hours TT .. Now we use in papua Indonesia

[@PilotLH]

It is my dream to get my license and fly one of these around as a career! Love the 208 with the cargo pod so much!

Man, I don’t know what it is, but I love the Cessna Caravan... If I only had 1.8 million... 🤔 great video.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you! I'd love to have a go in a B777 ;)

[@ccacrislan]

@@FlyingwithRich ohh the B777 is a beautiful plane, it is the best job ever, but is a different job, totally different. I think the fun is with the Caravan... 😄👍

[@marciefree]

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

[@christophernolan8761]

what a great marketing channel for aircraft

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you!

[@jxk4500]

Very interesting to see your videos Rich. I did my flight training at Angel City Flyers on KLGB back in 2008/9. its so pleasing to see you doing these exact same traffic patterns with all this cool gear.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks - stop by if you are ever back in Long Beach!

[@michael-ju8tv]

Kudos for showing the price and operating costs.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks for watching!

[@bernardanderson3758]

I have about 30 hours of single engine experience turbo prop now in a PAC 750 and looking forward to getting more in the Caravan one day

[@FlyingwithRich]

Never flown the PAC 750 but see them around - mostly in skydiving ops.

[@robtebay1]

I've always been impressed by the Caravan, since seeing it in harsh operation in the Air Alaska films.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Definitely a rugged airplane - lots of them all over the world in tough operating conditions. Such a great machine - thanks for watching!

[@hpijeep]

I’m jealous of your job! What a beautiful airplane.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thank you for watching. It’s a great airplane and pretty fun job!

[@TRISTAN440]

Good seeing you the other day! I’ll come by for a visit!

[@FlyingwithRich]

[@angelitocabo5110]

For me this airplane is one of the best designed single engine utility aircraft.

[@FlyingwithRich]

The Caravan has been a very successful airplane so your comment is very true. Thanks for watching!

[@AV8R_1]

What a gorgeous aircraft! I do have to say though I always thought caravans looked goofy without the cargo pod under the belly. But that’s just my opinion. I still love the caravan it’s fantastic aircraft!

[@ryanp6999]

I agree with your opinion

[@billymanners9629]

It's never a looker imo, without a pod it's tall and goofy, but with a pod it just looks pregnant

[@jerplane400]

[@williamkennedy2069]

So would you take this over the kodiak? I like the short style of this, makes it much more attractive, but the Kodiak is like totally badass looking, IMHO

[@FlyingwithRich]

Man I have been a Caravan guy for a long time, but friend got his Kodiak now and tough not to really like that airplane! Video coming soon.

Yes. 210 will be coming up in the next couple months.

[@mark6121]

Nice video, Rich!

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks Mark!

[@AClark-gs5gl]

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]

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!

[@coolmoodee]

My favorite turbo prop .

[@FlyingwithRich]

I agree - getting ready to do more King Air 90 flying soon so I’ll let you know after I get more time in that. My problem is they are all my favorites! Thanks for watching!

What is the operational ceiling limitations

[@lessharratt8719]

Same engine as the Kodiak and many of the same options at two thirds the price. Nice.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Short Caravans and Kodiaks are pretty close in price when you consider new. Thanks for watching.

[@lessharratt8719]

@@FlyingwithRich Yes. I was mistaking as I thought your plane was 1.3 when I commented. Even so I don't believe the Kodiak has radar and that would cost a pretty penny to upgrade I am thinking. I would love to see you do a review on a Pilatus Porter. If I could at this time I would go that route for my future (hopefully) needs. You have a great aviation channel. Cheers.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Just an FYI, your audio was cutting out and back-in quite a bit

[@FlyingwithRich]

Thanks. I noticed that too.

[@ExtremeRecluse]

Probably not economical, but every other aspect is superb for its mission.

[@jamesvelvet3612]

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!

[@FlyingwithRich]

New one same equipped is about $2.4M.

Hola muy buenos días hermano americano: Flyint Waits Rick, pero qué yo tengo mucho gusto por la avioneta Cesna Gran Caravan 208-B Executivo.!!! Buena suerte y buenos vuelos. Un saludo desde Brasília DF Brasil" hásta otra oportunidad.🇧🇷🇳🇱🇧🇷

[@FlyingwithRich]

Gracias por ver mi amigo!

[@brentt8590]

Glad I stopped by. I don't anything about airplane other than its looks like one. What is the range? can this aircraft fly from New York to Cali? I guess, it will need to refuel for sure due to the long distance.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Roughly 1000 NM range. It won’t make NY to CA non-stop.

[@brentt8590]

@@FlyingwithRich Thanks for the info. How fast can it fly? I guess. you'll do 3 stops for fuel if you're traveling across the country.

[@FlyingwithRich]

It’s 170 ktas at 12000 - how many stops depends a lot on winds and how you set power - max speed or max range.

[@RIP5582]

Why does the caravan have that large exhaust shroud when other single turbines manage with smaller stacks? Asking for a friend.

[@FlyingwithRich]

Single port exhaust - most turboprops/engines have dual.

[@jaypisme2343]

See this wound be the plane to have people can go in the back and pee , it’s huge. How far will it go? Great video by they way my man!

[@FlyingwithRich]

[@bernardanderson3758]

[@chrisngara1687]

Is the bulge under the fuselage standard for these Caravans? Does anyone know what is inside the bulging structure under the fuselage?

[@FlyingwithRich]

It’s the fairing that protects the De-ice fluid tank. Thanks for watching!

[@dskains]

Some Caravans have large storage areas there (this one does not). Small airlines use them to hold luggage.

[@AxCYeR]

what power setting were you using for take-off? doesn't look like 100%.

[@FlyingwithRich]

1865 lbs is the max torque setting. I probably didn’t go all the way to 1865 lbs - no particular reason, just didn’t need all the power.

[@Dappertrucker]

Do they hold 5 people including pilots 🤔

[@FlyingwithRich]

Yes.

[@daviddilley538]

“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…

[@FlyingwithRich]

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.
