How to fly the C208

The C208 is a rugged turboprop that can take cargo and passengers in and out of some of the most demanding airports in the world, paved or not. It’s flexible flight profiles, forgiving handling, and brute power makes it a pilot favorite. Join me in this tutorial as we learn to fly on a short hop from Friday Harbor to Boeing Field in Seattle!

Such a great airport and a special route. I flew this exact route and registration and was flown by a community member when I visited last fall. 😍

That’s absolutely amazing Tyler! 2 months ago I went on a short round trip flight from Anchorage to Kenai on a Cessna 208 with a friend of mine. I definitely enjoyed it. Grant Aviation was the operator of the route.

I have always loved the Caravan, and how it’s often used on Essential Air Service routes around the USA. I have looked forward to this update for a while.

and it looks great! Well done all.

Genuine question not a critique.
Was the a reason for not adding the governor as an option in the aircraft?

Just a quick note to say, I’d been flying the C208 over many hours the last couple of years before the update, and I’d never even thought of checking to see if there was a tutorial.

So thanks Tyler for the little pointers that have helped me enjoy the Caravan even more than I did already 🫡🫡🫡

I’m so glad you found it! It’s definitely one of the most effortless and enjoyable planes to fly in our fleet. I hope to catch you on a flight sometime! Give me a follow in-app.

It’s a great plane to hand fly, I’ve never manually flew a aircraft this much on IF 😂

Incredible aircraft i flew on it a lot of times especially in st barth (really happy they add st barth commuter livrery). Waiting for the St Barth scenery update bc with the actual scenery i think the moutain is too hight and too close making landing with the C208 a bit difficult.
Here is a pic if you want :

I deleted my Pro account and waited for the C208 release; practicing the C208 the whole time…

Already with the bugs.

Can’t change view and scroll around in Captain view – only FO?

No more map, map view zoom options? Geez.
