Cessna 208B Grand Caravan Detailed Instruction Pack
Want to fly the exciting Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with the respect it deserves?
Now you can fly your Cessna 208B Grand Caravan expertly with FSFlyingSchool 2022 for Microsoft Flight Simulator!
What does this Detail Pack do? It adds a whole new level of detailed instruction to your experience when flying the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan with FSFlyingSchool.
With the optional FSFlyingSchool 2022 Cessna 208B Grand Caravan Detail Pack, your instructor will be looking at your aircraft and your performance in it in a lot more detail.
The following is a list of different stages of flight in which events will cause your instructor to talk to you, with specific reference to the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan you are flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator...
Starting and Takeoff
Shortly after flight starts on ground with master battery on
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
Engine start attempted with fuel shutoff pulled out - off
Reminder to push fuel shutoff in.
Engine start attempted with fuel selectors wrongly set
Reminder to select BOTH tanks.
Engine start attempted and power lever not set
Advice that power lever should be idle when starting.
Engine start attempted and parking brake not set
Warning that parking brake must be set when starting the engine.
Engine start attempted and propeller control lever not set
Advice that propeller control lever must be full forward before starting.
Engine start attempted and fuel condition lever not set
Advice that fuel condition lever must be at cut-off before starting.
Engine start attempted with master battery switch off
Advice that the master battery switch must be on when starting the engine.
Shortly after moving in taxi mode
Advice on which instruments and systems should be checked during taxiing.
In takeoff mode with fuel boost pump off
Reminder to set boost pump to NORM.
In takeoff mode with autopilot on
Reminder to turn off autopilot.
In takeoff mode with yaw damper on
Reminder to turn off yaw damper.
In takeoff mode without "take-off" flaps (20 degrees of flaps)
Warning that you must have take-off flaps set.
In takeoff mode with more than "take-off" flaps (more than 20 degrees of flaps)
Warning that you have too much flaps set and that you should use no more than 20 degrees.
Shortly after beginning takeoff
Advice to move power lever smoothly up to 1900 RPM.
Shortly after beginning takeoff
Advice that the nose wheel can be lifted at 73 KIAS.
Shortly after takeoff
Reminder that this aircraft's 'vX' (Best Angle of Climb Speed) is 72 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to clear runway obstacles or to lift off from a soft field quickly.
Shortly after takeoff
Reminder that this aircraft's 'vY' (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 104 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.
Shortly after takeoff
Advice that in "cruise climb" in this aircraft you should normally use between 1600 and 1900 RPM.
Shortly after takeoff
Advice that if you encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below maneuvering speed ('vA') and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.
Shortly after takeoff
Advice to use right rudder to correct for any unwanted yawing to the left caused by P factor and torque.
Shortly after takeoff
Advice to get take-off flaps retracted.
Descent and Landing
Descent to landing and propeller control lever not set
Advice that propeller control lever must be full forward for descent to landing.
Descent to landing and fuel condition lever not set
Advice that fuel condition lever must be at low idle for descent to landing.
Descending and decelerating to 150 KIAS while landing
Advice that once below 150 KIAS the pilot may start to lower 20 degrees of flaps.
Descending and decelerating to 125 KIAS while landing
Advice that once below 125 KIAS the pilot may start to lower full flaps.
Descent to around 1000 feet AGL while landing
Reminder to turn off autopilot.
Descent to around 1000 feet AGL while landing
Reminder to turn off yaw damper.
Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing
Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.
Descent to around 500 feet AGL while landing
Advice that you want to land with landing flaps (full flaps) at 80 knots IAS.
Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing
Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your main gear first, lower the nose wheel gently and use minimum braking required.
Descent to around 300 feet AGL while landing
Reminder that at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway you should reduce power to idle and flare.
General Warnings and Advice
Fuel boost pump on shortly after starting
Reminder to set boost pump to NORM.
Loss of engine while airborne
Advice that the best glide speed in this aircraft is 95 KIAS.
Engine fire started
Warning that the engine is on fire.
Engine fire and fuel not shut off
Warning that fuel should be shut off immediately. Pull its fuel condition lever fully AFT.
Entering cruise mode
Advice that you should normally use between 1600 and 1900 RPM in cruise flight.
Shortly after engine has started
Reminder to check the oil pressure.
Speed approaching vNO
Reminder that you need smooth air to fly above 'vNO' (Maximum Structural Cruising Speed) which is 140 knots for this aircraft.
Speed approaching vNE
Warning that you are close to exceeding 175 KIAS which is 'vNE' (Never Exceed Speed) for this aircraft.
Decreasing speed approaching vSO
Warning that stall speed with full flaps is 50 KIAS which is 'vSO' (Stalling Speed in Landing Configuration) for this aircraft.
Decreasing speed approaching vS
Warning that stall speed with flaps up is 63 KIAS which is 'vS' (Stalling Speed with Flaps Up) for this aircraft.
Left or right fuel level is low
Warning that one or both fuel tanks are getting low and you may wish to consider your refueling options.
Engine running and avionics master switches off
Reminder to turn avionics master switches on.
Master battery switched on
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full.
Master battery on and fuel level getting low
Estimate of current fuel as a percentage of full as fuel falls below 50%, 25%, 10%, 5% and 3%.
Fuel condition lever too high when taxiing
Advice to set fuel condition lever to low idle.
Fuel selectors wrongly set with engine off on ground
Reminder to select OFF, unless starting.
Flight above service ceiling
Advice to descend below 22,800 feet MSL.
Pitot heat off and not taxiing and OAT below 4 degrees C
Reminder to use pitot heat when OAT (outside air temperature) is below 4 degrees C.
Pitot heat on and taxiing or OAT not below 4 degrees C
Reminder to turn off pitot heat when taxiing or when OAT (outside air temperature) is at or above 4 degrees C.
