In this video, we take a look at the basics for calculating the landing speed along with the process of putting this heavy single engine plane down on the ground.
All this is correct unless you are trying to land the current 208 landing challenge in which case, you ignore all this set the approach speed to 55 ride the stall horn all the way to just prior to blue box with that magic MSFS cessna float. Then activate reverse thrusters and you will gracefully touch down and score >1 million points. I don't think this works in real life, but maybe we should ask missionary bush pilot.
Love your videos and u do a great job. I was wondering , in your personal opinion I am wondering if I should get skypark or air hauler 2 , which do you prefer?
Good tutorial, thanks.....question, how do you get the external scenery lighting of city lights, runway and airport lighting so crisp and clear? I've tried everything and still struggle, my external light and airport lights are extremely blurry and foggy in appearance?
Nice video, I fly this plane a lot and really have to work on my approaches and landings. You mentioned the POH said you should use full flaps for landing if possible, why did you only use 20°? Aren't the approach speeds calculated for full flaps?
It depends also on the wind. In this video he had 5 knots almost in front (7:35), then probably 20° were enough (fact is he landed, then 20° were surely enough)... it also depends on the weight, after the engine shut off he didn't show how heavy the plane was.
Often you can find it on the website of the manufacturer, or by googeling for it. Note that these operating manuals are VERY aircraft configuration specific, depending on which engine, prop, baggage compartment, fuel cells etc. the buyer specs on their specific airplane, they'll receive a specific POH for exactly this configuration. Often these specific POHs are not publicly available, as they're individual for each plane. If you want to find the 208B EX 867 SHP (the version in MSFS) POH go to the official MSFS forum and find the "Caravan Issues" thread, post from 20 Oct. Someone uploaded it onto their Google drive.
