    I love the Caravan. It was awesome to see a complete walkaround of the airplane. It is quite preflight, but for good reasons. Awesome, video, Dan!

    Thanks for putting a very thorough preflight video together for the Caravan. I learned a great deal.The Caravan is my favorite aircraft and at one point entertained the idea of an air charter for our tri-state area. Look forward to more videos, Dan.

    I've seen some guys leave the prop anchor on in order to keep the prop from hitting the tow bar.

    I'm not a pilot, but I spending my evenings watching how to walkaround or operate c208 in icing conditions. Just felt in love with this plane after i saw it first time in ~2009 in Bednary airport in Poland. This was first and last time i saw it for real because there are not many operating in europe. Just can't wait for comming videos. I have so many questions, how to operate C208 and how it looks in practise... couse I'm flying it in sim ;) and I hope will get know everything by watching your vids. Great job! SUB!

    Does that battery disconnect lock when you tighten it>? I hope it does. Vibration and it pops off. YIKES

      If you have a FS date, call them for access to your client training guide. Memorize your memory items for EPs, read the POH, and know your limitations.

    How do you dip the tanks without a ladder

    • @DanWeecks
      @DanWeecks  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You have to use a ladder, the best time is usually on preflight in the hangar and when the fuelers are still set up with their ladder.

    Paper and steam gauges are better and more reliable, charts don’t need batteries.
