Thanks for watching mate, and I am glad that you enjoyed it. Yes, it is unbelievable to see 18 jumpers with gear on board. It carries minimal fuel as dropping zone is nearby. This is a normal C208B Grand Caravan.
3:31 Excelente capacidade de carga , tendo em vista que estamos falando de um avião monomotor . Se levar em conta que cada paraquedista pesa em media 75 quilos , embarcaram uns 18 homens , logo seria 1350 quilos, fora o puloto e os equipamentos . Muito bom !!! 👍🏼😁
Because it’s a Garret and takes a ton more power to start. Most planes designed with Garrets have two batteries that you can put in series for more starting power.
Se necesita tiempo para finalizar el proceso de arranque del motor. Ese día realizaron alrededor de 12 incursiones para lanzar paracaidistas. Al arrancar el motor antes de abordar, ahorraron un tiempo precioso.
@@thierrygaillot1980 Yes, not necessary on this one, lots of extra capacity more than they can with the people or the skydivers in this case. Lots of room.
@@JSFGuy No idea what you are trying to say. What I am saying is they are technically legal maximum take off weight wise with all the mods done on the aircraft and the amount of fuel carried on board. That's it!
The pilot lifts the front wheel off the ground at a low speed and holds that attitude. With the further acceleration, the plane will get airborne when it "wants" to get airborne. This way the passengers will have a silky experience and do not have the feeling of aircraft being pulled into air.
