The Caravan programme began in the early 1980s, with the prototype flying in 1982. Its high wing, fixed gear and large cabin were organised around practical utility work. The longer 208B developed into the Grand Caravan as well as dedicated freight configurations.

Wheeled aircraft, cargo pods and amphibious floats give the family several recognisable forms. Simulator versions also differ sharply in cockpit philosophy, from modern glass panels to analogue conversions and new standalone aircraft. Each product has its own cockpit and systems description.

A utility turboprop grows into a family

Cessna launched the Caravan programme in 1981, flew the prototype in 1982 and began deliveries in 1985. The stretched, freight-focused 208B Super Cargomaster followed, with certification in 1986; the first production Grand Caravan was delivered in 1990. Passenger services, freight, government work and humanitarian flying became recurring uses for the family.

Glass cockpits and the Grand Caravan EX

The manufacturer’s timeline places standard G1000 avionics in 2008 and the start of Grand Caravan EX deliveries in 2013, with the PT6A-140 engine. G1000 NXi followed as standard equipment in 2017. These changes explain some of the differences between older Caravan accounts and later EX cockpits, alongside the choice of landplane or amphibious configuration.

From simulator preparation to the real aircraft

Horne prepared in a FlightSafety simulator before moving to the real Grand Caravan. The sessions introduced its glass cockpit and approach work, but the aircraft itself still made an impression: reaching the flight deck meant climbing a ladder, and the cockpit had the scale of a much larger working machine. The demonstration aircraft carried a cargo pod and TKS equipment.

Flying close to its maximum weight, he found that the ailerons and rudder asked for deliberate effort. Changes in configuration brought more trimming, while the stall exercises felt comparatively mild. Landing introduced the practical effect of the large propeller’s drag and the need to coordinate power carefully. His simulator preparation preceded the flight with Oliver.

A piston pilot meets the Grand Caravan EX

Hitchen approached the Grand Caravan EX with the expectations of a piston pilot and some apprehension about its size and turbine engine. Wilson took care of departure before handing over for airwork. The controls initially seemed heavy, and Hitchen repeatedly overshot headings as he adjusted to an aircraft with more momentum than his usual mount.

Familiarity softened that first impression: he came to find it responsive once he understood how much input it wanted. Wilson coached the descent, including the need to manage speed, and Hitchen made his first Caravan landing with the wind conveniently aligned with the runway. His humour about breaking his usual first-landing jinx gives the report its character. It remains an introduction under a demonstrator pilot’s guidance, with the pleasure of discovering that a large aircraft could become approachable.

Considering a Caravan after a legal career

Humphries was considering what aviation might become after retiring from legal practice. People had asked about flights to court appearances, and the Caravan suggested a possible combination of business transport and family use. Before the demonstration, he worked through a lengthy FlightSafety manual, trying to arrive with some understanding of an aircraft larger than his usual flying involved.

Allenbaugh’s guidance helped turn that preparation into an enjoyable flight. Humphries hand-flew throughout and was pleased by the roll response, the cockpit view and the comfortable ride through turbulence. Air conditioning had its own appeal in the Texas heat. Back on the ground, he was enthusiastic but still weighing the idea. He had not made a purchase decision or established a charter operation.

Wie das Profil es modelliert

Black Square Analog Grand Caravan

Free + Pro
MSFS 2020Black Square

The Caravan programme began in the early 1980s, with the prototype flying in 1982. Its high wing, fixed gear and large cabin were organised around practical utility work. The longer 208B developed into the Grand Caravan as well as dedicated freight configurations.

This profile selects Black Square Analog Grand Caravan for MSFS 2020.

Spring resistance builds with the selected airspeed response. A separate aerodynamic term adds speed-dependent control load.

Valid trim provides the configured pressure relief. Autopilot following is off.

Controls and trim

Cessna describes mechanical primary-control linkages, proportional roll spoilers and aileron servo tabs that reduce wheel effort. Published Caravan testing describes heavier roll than pitch in an older 208B and lighter controls after slowing from cruise in an EX. Those accounts supply qualitative family context. The information manual documents a stall-warning horn, not a mechanical stick shaker. Short-body, Grand Caravan, cargo and amphibious configurations remain distinct.

The selected implementation

Analog Grand Caravan is the MSFS 2020 cockpit product, separate from standalone Caravan Professional. Its published cruise figure is TAS.

About the values

The gains are normalized profile settings. They describe the chosen effect balance; hand force depends on the device and its output limits. IAS references are tuning values rather than operating limits. Physical acceptance of this revision remains pending.

Master gain & control system

Master gain85%

Die letzte Gesamtskalierung über alles, was das Modell erzeugt, vor der Gerätegrenze.

Mehr: alles (Feder, Lasten, Effekte) wird gemeinsam stärker.

Weniger: alles wird gemeinsam weicher.

Warum hier: Scales overall profile strength while preserving effect balance, subject to device and output limits.

Forces

Spring strength74%

Die Grundzentrierkraft, die den Stick zur Mitte zieht. Jede andere Kraft baut darauf auf. Zu niedrig fühlt sich der Stick im Normalflug schlaff an; zu hoch kämpft er gegen deine Hand und überdeckt die feineren Signale.

Mehr: festere Zentrierung, die der Hand jederzeit mehr widersteht.

Weniger: ein schlafferer Stick, der sich allein auf die aerodynamische Last stützt.

Warum hier: Mechanical links and servo-tab/roll-spoiler assistance motivate the selected speed-dependent yoke response; related flight reports support a qualitative roll-heavy balance. The baseline spring is 0.74. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 72.5 KIAS.

Operating ManualCarenado C208B Grand Caravan HD SeriesGrand Caravan EXCessna 208B Caravan I flight report, May 1989Cessna 208B G1000 Pilot's Operating HandbookA Caravan ExperienceCessna Caravan family reference
Spring deadband5%

Eine kleine neutrale Zone um die Mitte, in der die Feder ruhig bleibt, damit kleinste Bewegungen im Stand nicht flattern. Breiter ist ruhiger, aber lockerer; enger ist präziser, kann aber um die Mitte zittern.

Mehr: eine ruhigere, aber lockerere Mitte mit mehr Spiel.

Weniger: eine straffere Mitte, die in Ruhe zittern kann.

Warum hier: Sets travel around the centre before the baseline spring resists. Smaller values engage it sooner.

Overall aerodynamic load68%

Ein Gesamtmaß über beide anhaltenden Achslasten, vor ihrer Einzelbalance angewendet. Profile lassen es normalerweise stehen und stimmen die beiden Achslasten ab.

Mehr: beide Achsen laden härter auf.

Weniger: beide Achsen werden gemeinsam leichter.

Warum hier: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.68 with an indicated-speed reference of 145 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.

Airspeed blendingTrue

Aktiviert das Niedrigfahrt-Einblendfenster der Feder (Beginn/Voll in Knoten oben). Aus bleibt die Feder bei jeder Fahrt konstant.

Warum hier: Allows baseline spring strength to rise with indicated airspeed where the control law permits it.

Low-speed spring floor55%

Wie viel Feder im Stillstand übrig bleibt, bevor Fahrt überhaupt aerodynamische Kraft aufbauen kann. Ein hoher Sockel hält den geparkten Stick straff; ein niedriger ergibt das lose Seilzuggefühl eines geparkten Leichtflugzeugs.

Mehr: ein festerer Stick beim Parken und Rollen.

Weniger: ein schlaffer geparkter Stick, der erst mit Fahrt aufwacht.

Warum hier: Sets low-speed spring strength as a fraction of baseline when blending is enabled. One keeps full strength.

Spring engagement start20.3 kt

Die Fahrt, ab der die Feder vom Niedrigfahrt-Sockel Richtung volle Stärke steigt: der Beginn des "Lebendigwerdens" der Ruder im Startlauf.

Warum hier: Sets the IAS where the low-speed spring blend starts rising. This is a feel threshold, not a flight limit.

Spring engagement full72.5 kt

Die Fahrt, bei der die Feder volle Stärke erreicht. Zwischen Beginn und diesem Punkt strafft sich die Zentrierung zunehmend mit der Anströmung.

Warum hier: Sets the IAS where the low-speed blend reaches baseline strength; high-speed stiffening also uses it.

Geschwindigkeit zur Kraftabstimmung145

Die angezeigte Fahrt, bei der die aerodynamische Last ihr ausgelegtes Vollniveau erreicht. Sie verankert die gesamte Lastkurve am realen Geschwindigkeitsbereich: eine 172 lädt bis 110 Knoten auf, ein Jet viel später.

Mehr: Lasten kommen später; der Stick bleibt bis zu höherer Fahrt leicht.

Weniger: Lasten kommen früher, und die Reise fühlt sich schwerer an.

Warum hier: Sets the IAS reference for aerodynamic loading. It is an estimate, not published cruise TAS or a flight limit.

Centre firmness vs speed10%

Wie stark sich die Zentrierung selbst mit der Fahrt strafft, zusätzlich zu den Ausschlaglasten. Null hält das Mittengefühl konstant; mehr lässt den Stick im Reiseflug härter und im Anflug lockerer zentrieren.

Mehr: eine Mitte, die mit Fahrt spürbar härter wird.

Weniger: konstantes Mittengefühl bei jeder Fahrt.

Warum hier: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.1. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 72.5 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.

Centre stiffening cap5

Die Obergrenze der fahrtabhängigen Mittenstraffung, damit sehr hohe Fahrt die Feder nicht grenzenlos aufzieht.

Mehr: mehr Gesamtstraffung bei hoher Fahrt erlaubt.

Weniger: die Straffung klemmt früher ab.

Warum hier: Limits the squared airspeed ratio used for high-speed spring stiffening; it is not a device-force cap.

Aileron load72%

Die anhaltende Rolllast aus Querruderausschlag und Fahrt, unabhängig vom Nick balanciert. Zusammen mit der Höhenruderlast bestimmt sie die Ruderharmonie, von der Testberichte sprechen.

Mehr: schwerere Rollkräfte.

Weniger: leichtere, quirligere Querruder.

Warum hier: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 0.72 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.

Elevator load100%

Die anhaltende Nicklast aus Höhenruderausschlag und Fahrt, unabhängig von der Rollachse balanciert. Der Haupthebel für das Nickgewicht eines Musters. Er verändert weder Querruder, Feder, Trimmung noch Schüttelkräfte.

Mehr: schwerere anhaltende Nickkräfte bei Fahrt.

Weniger: ein leichteres Höhenruder, das weniger Muskel braucht.

Warum hier: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Max output force55%

Eine Kappe je stetiger Nick- oder Rollkraft vor dem Gerät. Der Schutz davor, die Hardware in harten Manövern zu überfahren oder zu sättigen.

Mehr: stärkere Spitzenkräfte vor dem Abschneiden.

Weniger: eine sanftere Decke; harte Manöver flachen früher ab.

Warum hier: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.

Trim

Trim relief (elevator)30%

Wie stark Höhenrudertrimmung die gehaltene Nickkraft abbaut und den Ruhepunkt des Sticks verschiebt. Bei 100 % braucht ein sauber getrimmtes Flugzeug keinen gehaltenen Druck: das Wegtrimmen der Last wie im echten Fliegen.

Mehr: Trimmung nimmt mehr der gehaltenen Nickkraft; bei 100 % nullt volle Trimmung sie.

Weniger: du hältst auch getrimmt weiter Kraft.

Warum hier: Pitch-trim relief remains a selected approximation of pressure reduction, separate from airframe length, cargo or amphibian equipment. Pitch authority 0.3 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.

Operating ManualCarenado C208B Grand Caravan HD SeriesGrand Caravan EXCessna 208B Caravan I flight report, May 1989Cessna 208B G1000 Pilot's Operating HandbookA Caravan ExperienceCessna Caravan family reference
Trim relief (aileron)0%

Dieselbe Entlastung für Rolltrimmung. Die meisten GA-Muster haben keine echte Querrudertrimmung, daher bleibt sie bei null; Muster mit Rolltrimmung bekommen einen passenden Wert.

Mehr: Rolltrimmung nimmt mehr gehaltene Rollkraft.

Weniger: Rolltrimmung bewirkt weniger.

Warum hier: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.

Effect gains · Ground

Runway rumble42%

Rollende Untergrundvibration aus Radgeschwindigkeit und Oberflächenart: die Textur von Asphalt, Gras oder Schotter unter dem Fahrwerk.

Mehr: lautere Oberflächentextur durch den Stick.

Weniger: ruhigeres Rollen.

Warum hier: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

Gear bumps32%

Kurze einzelne Stöße von Dehnfugen, Spurrillen und rauem Belag: die Interpunktion über dem kontinuierlichen Rumpeln.

Mehr: schärfere Stöße von Fugen und Rillen.

Weniger: weichere Bodendetails.

Warum hier: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.

Effect gains · Airframe

Stall buffet28%

Zellenschütteln vor dem Überziehen und bei aktiver Überziehwarnung: wie laut diese Fläche ihr Unbehagen ankündigt. Muster mit sauberem Abriss bekommen moderates Schütteln, das Horn trägt die Warnung.

Mehr: lauteres Schütteln vor dem Überziehen.

Weniger: eine leisere Fläche; das Horn trägt die Warnung.

Warum hier: Sets stall-buffet strength. Zero removes the cue without changing simulator stalls or warnings.

Mach buffet0%

Transsonisches Schütteln nahe der Machgrenze. Relevant für Jets nahe MMO, null für Kolben und Turboprops, die nie dort ankommen.

Mehr: stärkeres transsonisches Schütteln nahe der Machgrenze.

Weniger: ruhigerer Flug bei hohem Mach.

Warum hier: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

Flap buffet12%

Niederfrequente Zellenvibration mit Klappen im Fahrtwind, im Fenster, in dem sie wirklich Luft arbeiten.

Mehr: ein rauerer Lauf mit arbeitenden Klappen.

Weniger: ruhigere Anflugklappen.

Warum hier: Sets flap buffet at the configured position and speed gates. Flap movement texture is separate.

Gear buffet0%

Zellentrommeln vom ausgefahrenen Einziehfahrwerk im Fahrtwind. Null für Festfahrwerke, deren Zelle nie die Form ändert.

Mehr: mehr Trommeln mit hängendem Fahrwerk.

Weniger: saubererer Flug mit Fahrwerk.

Warum hier: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.

Stick shaker50%

Der dedizierte Stall-Stickshaker-Buzz, ausgelöst von der Überziehwarnanlage des Flugzeugs. Nur Muster mit echtem Shaker bekommen einen Wert; alle anderen verlassen sich auf Schütteln und Horn.

Mehr: ein härterer Shaker-Buzz.

Weniger: ein dezenterer Shaker.

Warum hier: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.

Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag

Touchdown thump82%

Der Einmalstoß beim Aufsetzen, skaliert mit der Sinkrate: ein Butterlander flüstert, ein fester Aufsetzer wummst.

Mehr: ein härterer Tritt beim Aufsetzen.

Weniger: weichere Ankünfte.

Warum hier: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.

Reverse rumble14%

Ausrollvibration bei Schubumkehr oder Beta-Verstellung. Null für Muster ohne Umkehr.

Mehr: ein rauerer Ausrollvorgang unter Umkehrschub.

Weniger: leisere Umkehr.

Warum hier: Sets reverse-thrust vibration with valid reverser and engine conditions. Zero removes the cue.

Engine rumble6%

Kontinuierliche Triebwerksvibration, die der Drehzahl von Leerlauf bis Volllast folgt: die allgegenwärtige Erinnerung, dass vorn etwas Kraftstoff verbrennt.

Mehr: mehr Triebwerk im Stick.

Weniger: ein leiseres Triebwerk.

Warum hier: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.

Flap motion10%

Dauervibration nur, solange der Simulator tatsächlich fahrende Klappenflächen meldet. Folgt echter Aktuatorbewegung und Ausfällen, keinem geschätzten Timer.

Mehr: mehr Vibration bei fahrenden Klappen.

Weniger: leisere Klappenläufe.

Warum hier: Sets texture from observed flap movement; a command without movement does not establish the cue.

Autopilot follow

AP follow authority10%

Wie weit Autopilotbefehle den physischen Stick bewegen dürfen. In MSFS winzig gehalten, weil eine bewegte Achse als Pilotene ingabe zurückgelesen werden kann; null schaltet das Folgen ab.

Mehr: der Autopilot bewegt deinen Stick sichtbar weiter.

Weniger: ein kaum wahrnehmbares Folgen.

Warum hier: Sets admitted AP-follow gain, not a percentage of travel. Runtime ownership and input limits still apply.
