Hi! Excellent video! Why in 0:33 you say that a visual approach is still under IFR? Where I can find more about that?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you for watching my videos! A visual approach es exactly what is says: you approach the airport visually. Some operators allow this, others don't. In good weather it speeds au the processes and allow more aircraft to land per hour.

[@jakobusstrauss]

Landed the poor thing more like a jet. 70 Knots in a Van is stupid fast. Crossing the threshold at anything more than 75 is unnecesaary. Also, TO/APR flaps are not 20 degrees. The manual does not specify how much it is, but it is more like 13-15 degrees. That is why the takeoff performance in the EX is worse compared to a legacy Van.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

@@jakobusstrauss Hi Jacobus, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Airplane was not particular light and you might have heard the stall warning come on briefly during the flare. So the speed was adequate for the condition as there was no excessive float. I do not known you professional background, so I make no judgement. I have extensive experience in STOL operations in Africa. Not on the C208 but on the C210. There, I approach on short final with 1.1 x stall speed, that is around 60 KIAS in a C210. I use this procedure when adequate and I do not use this when not adequate. Low energy approaches elevate the risk and expose you to wind shear issues etc. No need to do this on a long runway. Secondly, this was an intentional deep landing (exit at the end) so I might have crossed the threshold even higher than 75. Older Caravans had 10/20/full stops at the flap lever so I assume around 20 is the current new TO setting. 150 KIAS for flaps TO. The older 10 degrees setting had a 175KIAS limit, if I remember correctly. So the new TO setting is definitely more than 13 degrees. I do not know why Cessna changed the settings. How do you judge that the take off performance of the EX "is worse than the legacy van"? Take off roll, distance to clear obstacle, climb gradient? I also take off frequently with tanked C208, 30 (!) % over gross weight on ferry flights. FAA approved. Feel free to check this video to see a real degraded take off performance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rSioech9ebn6c Another word of note to you: As pilots we are all professionals, learn from own mistakes and other's mistakes, give and receive advice - and be humble. Your comment just sounded condescending. My 2 cents. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@jakobusstrauss]

The Van stalls at 61 KCAS landing config out of ground effect. (Yes, it makes a difference). On touchdown the ASI will typically be around 50 KIAS. I have extensive experience in the Van, mostly flying heavy loads in to short-ish bush strips with the stall warning CB pulled. (The G1000 in the EX is not happy with this as the stall warning heat runs off the same CB and it will give you a caution light). It is NOT a STOL machine, never was intended to be. More a compromise between STOL and good cruise performance. The TO/APR setting is definitely not more than 15 deg. Go look at a legacy van, the flap rollers will hit the end of the flap brackets and just start to deflect down at 20 deg. You can see the inboard trailing edge of the flap will just be below the top of the passenger window when it is set to 20. On the EX the flap rollers do not even touch the end of the flap track when the selector is set to TO/APR. Compare the take off distance in both Manuals and the EX comes in worse in every situation. Cessna had to decrease the amount of flap for the EX for takeoff because of the extra pitch up tendency it created with more power. Ultimately sacrificing some takeoff performance.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

@@jakobusstrauss Hi Jacobus, so what do we learn more now from this and what was your previous comment for? To have look me "stupid"...? 61 KIAS x 1.3 = ... do the math. And yes, we might be all aware that in the ground effect the stall speed might be lower. You might not be aware of this, but you can still set the flaps to all intermediate positions between the TO/APP position. Just without a fixed position and an unknown flap degree. I use this on overweight ferry take offs to retract the flaps in stages. Otherwise an excessive sink rate occurs. Please note here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2rSioech9ebn6c I do not know you in person, so I can judge your professionalism only by your writings. In job interviews with me (and certainly other employers also) this might not go well. Pulling stall warning CB's intentional may sound cool at the hotel bar - not so much around professionals. I with you best success for your flying career and always Happy Landings. May be there will be a chance to meet you in person and revise my only superficial statement. Capt. Guido

Your videos are at Top if we wanna learn to Fly (simfly in my case, sorry, because I am out of age to real flying) with special emphasis to IFR. The way you zoom out the knobs and other commands is quite educational and technological interesting. I will try to find at your videos the difference between Flight Director and Autopilot because when you alternate between Heading and Nav (Flight Director modes as you call?) is always with AP ON. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Luis! Flight Director: If you give the autopilot a command like: climb (VS) , fly a heading (HDG), track to an airport and correct for wind (NAV), then the flight guidance computer calculates how much bank, how much nose up/down you need to do this and sends this signal to the autopilot. The autopilot flies this. Think as a flight director as the following: The flight guidance computer sends the signal ("how much") also to the artificial horizon to display the pilot what the autopilot would do. There are different ways to display this to a pilot. In small aircraft a V-bar is common. It looks like a V shaped symbol, we call it politically incorrect a "Chinese hat". ^ The "hat" turns right/left up/down and you as the pilot only have to "fly" the aircraft symbol into the "hat" to they lie flush on top of each other. Makes hand flying super easy. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido.

[@luisreis3202]

Thks Captain @@GuidoWarnecke by the clear explanation of Flight Director. Always learning with you!

[@thewhismurproductions1528]

Your videos are a joy to watch, truly fantastic! One question, how do you decide a descent rate once cleared to a lower altitude? Do you do calculations to determine the exact rate to reach an altitude by a certain point or do you simply go down as fast as possible?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

This depends a bit on the type of aircraft. On non pressurized aircraft, you typically descent with 500fpm, pressurized turboprops with 1,500fpm and jets with 2,000fpm. Of course if you are cleared from 5,000ft to 4,000ft only you would not dive down with the full descent rate for that 1,000ft altitude loss. Modern FMS have a VNAV (vertical navigation) function. This allows you to program your descent. Example: you want to be 5 miles before the airport at 2,000ft above the airport elevation. The system will calculate this for you and tells you when to start the descent. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Question, does your MFD does not have an airport layout? By the way I think you have the best cockpit content :)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for you friendly comment., Samuel. You can purchase subscriptions from Jeppessen to display geo-referenced approach and taxi charts on the MFD. It was not installed in this aircraft. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

As always, very nice, Captain!! How do you like the Caravan??

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Francis. A great airplane the C208! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you for another great video. These are very beneficial for new pilots like myself. I have a question regarding on what appeared to be a Garmin InReach on the dash. What is your primary reason for using that device? Emergencies or communication? I have been thinking of buying that device but I am not sure if I truly need it. Thank you again.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

ThanK you. I use the inReach primary for communication (email and text messages). For emergency location I have a separate PLB. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

So do you land turbo props the same way you land pistons (fly above runway, flare, and stall), or do you land like a jet, and fly the aircraft onto the runway?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

This depends on the type of the turboprop. A Cessna Caravan is in essence a big big Cessna 172 with the same docile handling and stall characteristics. A Beechcraft King Air for example is different, you land it more like a jet and touch down at Vref (30% above stall speed). Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
