The Flight Vlog (Ep. 1) - Single-Pilot IFR in the C208

[@danielnofal]

Wonderful videos. Love the scenery, the caravan and your explanations

Well-flown and nice video. Surprised to hear a King Air on a 2500 foot gravel runway. Enjoyed noting the subtle differences between Canadian and U.S. flying. I've only flown in Canada twice. Out of my office window at KLGB (Long Beach, CA) I watch two Caravans do nothing but fly cargo on round trips to Santa Catalina Island all day long. The amount of cargo they carry is simply amazing!

Hi. I love this plane. I wish you so much good luck with this fresh new C208 KZbin channel. Cheers!

That 270 turn to line up was so pro it gave me a tingle up my leg. 😆

Hi! Nice to see good quality videos with c208! It's amazing that I finally can watch pilot of c208 and compare my knowledge. Please upload more of this, upload everything you can!

[@nathanielgirma8265]

More please! This was beautiful.

Wall Street! Nice to see you!

Thanks for watching David! I hope all's well with you and at CanWest.

Love it, thanks for sharing!

I feel like I can fly a caravan after watching this video, what a pro

[@ronnieandpatriciamackinnon4958]

Great videos,,thanks for the flight..! Question,, at 15.38 the black handle u pull, one guy suggested inertial separator,,the 172 u compare her to and the pipers I fly don't have that...lol Can u describe its purpose? Appreciate ur videos...

[@dreamaviation381]

Great job flying the caravan. How hard is it to fly a caravan for beginner pilots? Do you use the inertial separator only on gravel or dirt runways? Can you take off with the inertial separator on? Do you keep your fuel pump on normal during takeoff and to climb altitude and shut off? Keep making videos.

[@jamesallan5422]

The Caravan flies a lot like a C172, except with a turbine engine of course! As far as use of the inertial separator goes, we use Bypass Mode (pulled out) for flying in visible moisture (clouds, ice, rain, snow with OAT 5ºC or less) and for ground operations like takeoffs and taxi from dusty, sandy, and rocky strips. Our checklist requires that the fuel pump be ON for engine-start. This means that the auxiliary boost pump is operating continuously. For all other normal operations, such as takeoff and climb, it remains in the NORM position. In NORM, the pump is armed and operates when fuel pressure in the fuel manifold assembly drops below 4.75 PSI; essentially acting as a backup.

[@dreamaviation381]

Thanks for the info! What kind of performance do you get between 10-12,000ft with fuel burn (gph), indicated airspeed, TAS, GS and range depending on winds? Typical range with 6pax (120-170lbs) payload (200lbs) and full fuel?

For your own personal use, would you buy a Kodiak, a Caravan or a TBM? Which has the greatest quality? I am leaning toward the Kodiak first and then the Caravan. I like the Kodiak's short field capability. But it is built by a small company. I am not sure if they really stand behind their product. TBM is nice but I prefer high wing....unless its quality is just so superior that I go with it....?

[@TIO540S1]

The Caravan and Kodiak share similarity in missions, but the TBM is really designed third a very different mission. I'm surprised you'd include it.

[@cezarybanaszynski5019]

I have a question about fuel shutoff, is it have to be pulled in all the time? Even when you leave an airplane and go out?

[@GoofyPlayz_withYou]

I watched his plane takings off before I saw him idk if he saw me

[@corneliusfriesen5872]

Do you have to have instrument ratings to fly for north way aviation

[@jamesallan5422]

Hi Cornelius - yes, when I was hired it was a requirement to hold at least a Group 3 instrument rating (i.e. single-engine IFR).

[@corneliusfriesen5872]

Thank you I appreciate it
