Conosci l'aereo

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.

Come il profilo lo modella

Cessna 208B Grand Caravan

Free + Pro
MSFS 2024MSFS 2020X-Plane 12X-Plane 11

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.

The factory starting point selects Cessna 208B Grand Caravan across MSFS 2024, MSFS 2020, X-Plane 12, X-Plane 11.

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 enabled for supported control references.

Questa revisione esatta non è ancora abilitata per l’installazione pubblica.

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.

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%

La scala finale complessiva applicata a tutto ciò che il modello produce, prima del limite del dispositivo.

Più: tutto (molla, carichi, effetti) si rafforza insieme.

Meno: tutto si ammorbidisce insieme.

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

Forces

Spring strength58%

La forza di centraggio di base che riporta la barra al centro. Ogni altra forza si somma a questa. Troppo bassa e la barra sembra molle in volo normale; troppo alta e combatte la mano, mascherando i segnali più piccoli sovrapposti.

Più: un centraggio più fermo che resiste di più alla mano.

Meno: una barra più molle che conta solo sul carico aerodinamico.

Perché qui: 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 0.58. Its low-speed blend reaches baseline strength at 83 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 deadband4%

Una piccola zona neutra attorno al centro dove la molla resta silenziosa, così i micro-movimenti a riposo non vibrano. Più larga è più tranquilla ma più lasca; più stretta è più precisa ma può fremere attorno al centro.

Più: un centro più calmo ma più lasco, con più gioco.

Meno: un centro più serrato che può fremere a riposo.

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

Forces · Center starting force0

Perché qui: Adds smoothly ramped resistance outside the centre deadband. Zero removes this preload.

Overall aerodynamic load90%

Una scala maestra su entrambi i carichi d'asse sostenuti, applicata prima del loro bilanciamento indipendente. Di norma i profili la lasciano stare e regolano i due carichi d'asse.

Più: entrambi gli assi caricano più forte.

Meno: entrambi gli assi si alleggeriscono insieme.

Perché qui: The aerodynamic-load gain is 0.9 with an indicated-speed reference of 150 KIAS. This supplies speed-dependent loading alongside the spring.

Spring engagement full83 kt

La velocità a cui la molla raggiunge la piena forza. Tra l'inizio e questo punto il centraggio si irrigidisce progressivamente man mano che il flusso cresce sui comandi.

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

Centre firmness vs speed25%

Quanto il centraggio stesso si irrigidisce con la velocità, oltre ai carichi da deflessione. Zero mantiene costante la sensazione del centro; di più fa centrare la barra più dura in crociera e più lasca in circuito.

Più: un centro che si indurisce nettamente con la velocità.

Meno: una sensazione di centro costante a ogni velocità.

Perché qui: The high-speed spring-stiffening gain is 0.25. It strengthens the permitted spring response above 83 KIAS, with the squared-speed ratio capped at 5.

Centre stiffening cap5

Il limite superiore all'irrigidimento del centro dovuto alla velocità, così il volo molto veloce non può caricare la molla senza limite.

Più: più irrigidimento totale concesso ad alta velocità.

Meno: l'irrigidimento si ferma prima.

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

Aileron load130%

Il carico sostenuto di rollio da deflessione degli alettoni e velocità, bilanciato indipendentemente dal beccheggio. Insieme al carico dell'equilibratore fissa il rapporto di armonia dei comandi di cui parlano le recensioni.

Più: sforzi di rollio più pesanti.

Meno: alettoni più leggeri e scattanti.

Perché qui: Roll and pitch aerodynamic scales are 1.3 and 1, respectively. They set the aerodynamic axis balance. No custom spring-travel curve is enabled.

Elevator load100%

Il carico sostenuto di beccheggio da deflessione dell'equilibratore e velocità, bilanciato indipendentemente dal rollio. È la leva principale dietro il peso di beccheggio di un tipo. Non tocca alettoni, molla, trim né forze di buffet.

Più: sforzi di beccheggio sostenuti più pesanti in velocità.

Meno: una profondità più leggera, meno muscolosa da tenere.

Perché qui: Scales pitch aerodynamic loading; pitch spring travel and trim responses are separate settings.

Max output force60%

Un tetto su ogni forza stabile di beccheggio o rollio prima che raggiunga il dispositivo, a protezione da colpi o saturazioni dell'hardware nelle manovre energiche.

Più: picchi di forza stabile più alti prima del taglio.

Meno: un tetto più morbido; le manovre dure si appiattiscono prima.

Perché qui: Caps directed-force output. Native spring effects and device limits remain separate.

Forces · Center starting force transition0.05

Perché qui: Sets the travel used to ramp in centre preload. Wider intervals make its onset more gradual.

Airspeed blendingTrue

Attiva la finestra di innesto della molla a bassa velocità (nodi di inizio/pieno qui sopra). Spento, la molla è costante a ogni velocità.

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

Low-speed spring floor25%

Quanta molla sopravvive da fermo, prima che la velocità possa generare forza aerodinamica. Un pavimento alto tiene salda la barra parcheggiata; uno basso dà la sensazione lasca, da cavi allentati, di un aereo leggero in sosta.

Più: una barra più salda in sosta e al rullaggio.

Meno: una barra molle da fermo che si sveglia solo con la velocità.

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

Spring engagement start10 kt

La velocità a cui la molla comincia a salire dal suo pavimento di bassa velocità verso la piena forza: i comandi che «prendono vita» in corsa di decollo.

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

Velocità di regolazione della forza150

La velocità indicata a cui il carico aerodinamico raggiunge il livello pieno di progetto. Ancora l'intera curva di carico al reale intervallo di velocità dell'aereo: un 172 carica verso 110 nodi, un jet molto più tardi.

Più: i carichi arrivano più tardi; la barra resta leggera fino a velocità più alte.

Meno: i carichi arrivano prima e la crociera pesa di più.

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

Trim

Trim relief (elevator)35%

Quanto il trim di profondità allevia lo sforzo di beccheggio mantenuto e sposta dove la barra si assesta. Al 100 %, un aereo trimmato bene non richiede pressione mantenuta: il flusso di lavoro trimma-via-il-carico del volo reale.

Più: il trim toglie più sforzo mantenuto; al 100 %, trim pieno lo annulla.

Meno: continui a tenere sforzo anche trimmato.

Perché qui: Pitch-trim relief remains a selected approximation of pressure reduction, separate from airframe length, cargo or amphibian equipment. Pitch authority 0.35 provides load relief and permitted centre movement; roll authority is 0.18.

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)18%

Lo stesso sollievo per il trim di rollio. La maggior parte dei tipi di aviazione generale non ha un vero trim degli alettoni, quindi resta a zero; i tipi con trim di rollio ricevono un valore corrispondente.

Più: il trim di rollio toglie più sforzo mantenuto.

Meno: il trim di rollio fa meno.

Perché qui: Scales supported roll-trim relief and permitted centre movement. Zero removes roll response.

Effect gains · Ground

Runway rumble42%

Vibrazione di rotolamento da velocità delle ruote e tipo di superficie: asfalto, erba o ghiaia sotto il carrello.

Più: una texture di superficie più forte nella barra.

Meno: un rullaggio più liscio.

Perché qui: Sets rolling texture strength, modified by speed, surface and undercarriage configuration.

Gear bumps34%

Colpi brevi e discreti da giunti di dilatazione, solchi e superficie irregolare, che punteggiano il rombo continuo.

Più: colpi più netti da giunti e solchi.

Meno: dettagli del suolo più morbidi.

Perché qui: Sets gear-bump texture during ground motion, separate from touchdown impact.

Effect gains · Airframe

Stick shaker50%

Il ronzio dedicato dello stick shaker di stallo, attivato dal sistema di avviso dell'aereo stesso. Solo i tipi con un vero shaker ricevono un valore; tutti gli altri si affidano al buffet aerodinamico e alla sirena.

Più: uno shaker più duro.

Meno: uno shaker più discreto.

Perché qui: Sets triggered shaker strength; inactive while the shaker feature is disabled.

Stall buffet25%

Scuotimento della cellula in avvicinamento allo stallo e con l'avviso attivo: quanto forte quest'ala annuncia di essere scontenta. I tipi con distacco netto ricevono buffet modesto e lasciano l'avviso alla sirena.

Più: un tremito pre-stallo più forte.

Meno: un'ala più discreta; la sirena porta l'avviso.

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

Mach buffet0%

Buffet transonico in avvicinamento al limite di Mach. Significativo per i jet vicino a MMO, zero per pistoni e turboelica che non ci arrivano mai.

Più: un buffet transonico più forte vicino al limite di Mach.

Meno: un volo più liscio ad alto Mach.

Perché qui: Sets high-Mach buffet strength; onset and full-strength thresholds are separate.

Flap buffet20%

Vibrazione a bassa frequenza della cellula con i flap estesi nel flusso, nella finestra di velocità in cui lavorano davvero l'aria.

Più: un volo più ruvido con i flap al lavoro.

Meno: flap d'avvicinamento più morbidi.

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

Gear buffet0%

Il tambureggiare della cellula per il carrello retrattile appeso nel flusso. Zero per i tipi a carrello fisso, dove la cellula non cambia mai forma.

Più: più tambureggiare col carrello fuori.

Meno: un volo col carrello fuori più pulito.

Perché qui: Sets gear aerodynamic buffet; movement and ground-contact cues are separate.

Effect gains · Engine, mechanical & drag

Touchdown thump65%

Il colpo singolo quando le ruote toccano la pista, scalato dal rateo di discesa: un atterraggio di velluto sussurra, un arrivo deciso batte.

Più: un colpo più duro al contatto.

Meno: arrivi più morbidi.

Perché qui: Sets landing-impact strength; landing telemetry and response shape determine the pulse.

Reverse rumble40%

Vibrazione in corsa mentre lavorano l'inversione di spinta o le eliche in beta. Zero per i tipi senza reverse.

Più: una corsa più ruvida in reverse.

Meno: una reverse più discreta.

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

Engine rumble18%

Vibrazione continua del propulsore che segue i giri tra minimo e piena potenza, il promemoria sempre presente che qualcosa brucia carburante davanti.

Più: più motore nella barra.

Meno: un motore più discreto.

Perché qui: Sets estimated engine vibration using configured telemetry and response, not measured cockpit vibration.

Flap motion14%

Vibrazione continua solo mentre il simulatore riporta le superfici dei flap davvero in movimento. Segue il moto reale dell'attuatore e i guasti, non un timer stimato.

Più: più vibrazione coi flap in movimento.

Meno: corse dei flap più discrete.

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

Autopilot follow

AP follow authority5%

Quanto i comandi dell'autopilota possono muovere fisicamente la barra. Tenuto minuscolo in MSFS, dove un asse mosso può essere riletto come ingresso del pilota; zero disattiva del tutto il seguito.

Più: l'autopilota muove visibilmente di più la tua barra.

Meno: un seguito appena percettibile.

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

Aero · EnabledTrue

Whether this feature is active in this profile.

Perché qui: Enables aerodynamic cues; each still needs nonzero strength and its simulator conditions.
