A Cessna Caravan Flight and EMERGENCY Power

A day in the life of a Cessna 208 Caravan pilot. The Caravan is a single engine turboprop airplane used for passenger and cargo service. On this flight I fly the airplane single pilot from the Spirit of Saint Louis airport to the Fort Smith airport in Arkansas and back. It's an IFR flight so there's lots of ATC radio communications as well as the pilot's view of both the takeoff and landings. During the enroute flying I discuss the EMERGENCY POWER LEVER and the Standby alternator.

Hello, Jim. I am sorry to see the Challenger go to lease, but look forward to seeing the Sovereign. The Caravan looks like such a pleasure to fly, and the view from the cockpit is amazing. Stay safe!

I used to live right next to fort smith! Dude this is so cool to see a video of my old stomping grounds from the air.

@LaVieBoheme517 Год назад

Fantastic video. I have my ppl and instrument rating returning to aviation after a 10-year hiatus pursuing another career. This is so well filmed and gives me much more excitement to return to the sky. Thank you sir.

Cleared direct both ways... sweet. Thanks for posting it. Years ago I used to fly my C-150 with the windows open on a nice summer day at about 70 mph. Great fun, good memories.

@captmoonbeam 3 года назад

I used to do the same thing in a Cessna 152 over the rice fields in eastern Arkansas. Loved it.

First time watching your channel. Love how cool and calm you appear in your videos. Almost like Bob Ross of the skies! Hahaha. Also, that’s a beautiful caravan! Loved the video.

@deancook6832 3 года назад

Enjoyed this video over territory familiar to me. I live not far from the Hallsville VOR and I have farmed the fields surrounding the powerplant you flew over near Labadie, MO. Flown many times into Vichy in Rolla and over the Ozark lakes (LOTO, Bull Shoals, etc).

@alancornell6385 3 года назад

That storm window makes for a great ash tray. When I took my instrument check ride 200 years ago in a PA28 the DE asked if he could smoke, I told him only above 10,000 feet unless you are a DE and passed my check ride.

@KonaMan62 3 года назад

Always enjoy "flying with you". I don't get to log any time, but I'm not paying for Jet-A either. Looked like the yoke switches and trim control could use some super-glue, always fun with that happens on (very) short final :-) Thanks for the ride along!

@craigmilne2792 3 года назад

That is a lovely aircraft!

@stan1951ful 3 года назад

Caravan is by far my favorite!!

Ah Ft Smith. Spent 98 days TDY at Ft Chaffee in 1975. We took lots of trips to the airport to shuttle folks to and from. Vietnamese relocation. Flew in and out on Braniff 727’s and Frontier CV 580’s, those were the days.

@canalcaribeno 2 года назад

Another good one ☝️

@pappybo49 3 года назад

Another nice, relaxed flight in a very cooperative Caravan. I hope your passengers didn’t mind me riding along. I tried to be quiet, honest. Thanks for the invite.

@LMays-cu2hp 3 года назад

Looking very nice. Hahaha, I hear you about the coffee!!!! I feel the same about my coffee also.

@jamesw95 3 года назад

Not often you have to slow for a Gulfstream I'd guess, thanks for the Caravan content, love that plane!

@JaidenJimenez86 Год назад

I'm very envious you get to fly in such a nice aircraft. I'm learning in an old 152 with an interior that looks like some bears were fighting in it. Unfortunately, not much in the way of work for Caravans here in the UK.

@bdr518 3 года назад

I love Ft Smith airport, used to work at the Best Buy that overlooks runway 7, loved to watch the A-10s touch and go, and F-16s would come in every now and again for refueling. Met my wife at that store.

@bdr518 5 месяцев назад

I forgot I watched this video 2 years ago, and was about to leave this same comment again! Either way, just as good the second time around!

CPT, is there a chance for a wider presentation of this beautiful plane from the outside and inside, as well as a description of your experience with it?

@johnkeim3836 3 года назад

Amazing visibility in that Caravan.

@johnfitzpatrick2469 3 года назад

G, day Captain Moonbeam, hope all is well. The Cessna caravan is looking fantastic. Looks like your having low-pressure systems, maybe associated with two (2) cyclones (Hurricane) southern Tx.🕊

@DanielBORN394 3 года назад

I've been flying the Caravan in the new flight simulator and although it's on a computer, I have become so fond of the plane. So, it's really interesting to watch an actual pilot who knows what he's actually doing fly the plane. Thanks for sharing

@chelseacheluget82 2 года назад

What flight simulator did you purchase? I’m looking for one to use.

@DanielBORN394 2 года назад

@@chelseacheluget82 I'm using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. If your computer can handle it, it's really worth it!

@FlyingJournalism 2 года назад

I have flown caravans quite a bit , 208b and ex models, g1000 and steam gauge, great plane, very versatile and you will almost never over load it... takes off quick and stops on a dime 500ft some have done 400ft in full reverse

@FlyingJournalism 2 года назад

Btw, hardest part of caravan is memorizing all emergency procedures ( which isnt that hard)... the stimulator is harder to fly than the real plane

@geoffeg 3 года назад

Nice video, love the Caravan, looks like it was a great day to fly. I was supposed to start flying SUS to FSM a few times a month for a new client but they closed their offices to visitors due to COVID. Too bad, looks like a beautiful flight. Good to know that I can get cleared direct if I file for 7/8000.

@captmoonbeam 3 года назад

Seems like that's happened a lot. Hopefully they'll start flying more. This was just a one time trip for us.

@kamloopscruiser874 3 года назад

Nice to see you flying. You’ll be flying a new variate of the Citation?

@WestMauiBrad 3 года назад

Hey, CaptMoonBeam, was that your Citation co pilot working the radio on N5PT (22:40)? Sure sounded like him as you were approaching Spirit. Really enjoy your videos, thanks!

@ozzie-sk9dh 3 года назад

Sweet plane

@johndemerse9172 3 года назад

Looking forward to the Citation coming Jim! but I love the Caravan too.

@captmoonbeam 3 года назад

I have to say, the Caravan is one of my favorites.

@michaellake5269 Год назад

I flew into SUS hundreds of times in the 80's. Crown Aviation was great.

@007bonder4 3 года назад

Lol that Caravan will run over a large alligator and be nonevent . Cool video good luck on the flying just got over my 22 year mark . 91 is the best. Good job on the Health Routine !

@PaulGarthAviation 3 года назад

27:34 - Eagle, left downwind for 8 left. That FOD is a rabbit. We're circling back to pick it up. Tower - Number 2, following the caravan on short final.

@Mirrorstar Год назад

Hi I enjoyed your video. I seem to be getting it right with MSFS2020. One thing I noticed. You kept the prop forward all the time on the way out. On your return you pulled it back. Why did you do that? Never sure when to use the prop lever.

@samthepilot223 3 года назад

I came a cross your channel today, i love it. i got my private pilot last year in May, I'm also on active duty military. What is the software you use to for editing?

@Airflores322 3 года назад

@N101DW 3 года назад

Great video. Curious to know what settings you are using on the GoPros to avoid flicker on the Garmin screens.

@zackarymcclain164 3 года назад

At 13:24 you can see the midland ave. Bridge and the railroad bridge that cross the Arkansas river. That railroad bridge was filmed in the Movie Biloxi blues and is used by the Arkansas Missouri railroad. Holy crap this video is cool.
