CARAVAN.

MORE VERSATILE THAN A SWISS KNIFE.

In business as in life, few things can be held to certainty. The ability to ride prevailing winds can make or break your success. To this endeavor, the Cessna Caravan line can provide a powerful constant in a world of variables.

The dispatch reliability of the Caravan models is unparalleled: a remarkable 99%+ rate. For more than 25 years, operators have relied on these aircraft to meet the most demanding mission parameters; they haven't flinched yet. Considering the powerful PT6A-114A turbine powerplant underneath the cowling, it's easy to understand why. This ultra-dependable, 675-horsepower engine from Pratt & Whitney Canada endows each Caravan model with exceptional payload capabilities. Factor in the inherent versatility, configurability and sheer ruggedness of the Caravan line, and the applications become virtually limitless.

FEATURES

MORE VERSATILE THAN A SWISS KNIFE.

Taravan interiors can be easily adapted to maximize seating capacity, cargo space or an ideal combination of both. Rear double doors facilitate loading and unloading, and can be replaced with an electric roll-up door that can be opened in-flight for airdrops or parachute operations. However, such actions are not always necessary for delivering payloads to remote or unusual destinations; the rugged construction of Caravan models allows the accessing of short, unimproved airstrips. Furthermore, the Caravan can be outfitted with amphibious floats or skis should your destinations lack any runway at all.

The interiors can also be customized for executive travel and airline operations—two increasingly popular Caravan applications. With a cavernous cabin and operating costs that are significantly more economical than those of twin-engine turboprop aircraft, Caravans have become an invaluable asset for businesses and operators servicing short- and mid-range destinations around the world.

Yet for all the diverse applications, one principle underscores every Caravan model and application: safety. The high-wing design of the Caravan provides the stability and predictable handling qualities for which Cessna propeller aircraft have long been renowned. And as all Caravan models now operate through the fully integrated G1000 advanced avionics suite, the safety margins for pilot, passengers and payload have never been greater.
