Aircraft General Description

AGG-7, page 4-9

Objective: To provide the crewmember with a general

description of the particular aircraft.

Every amphibian C-208 must have a supplement P.O.H.

This P.O.H includes the different weights, speeds, limitations etc, that change the Caravan once the floats are installed. A supplement P.O.H must be on board each aircraft for any flight.

Additions to the landplane for floats installation

Engine Operating Limits

Trimming is available for aileron, rudder and elevator control.

Aileron and rudder trimming wheels are located between the pilot and co-pilot seats. Elevator trimming wheel is located to the left of the power lever and it can be used by an electric trim knob in each pilot's control wheel.

The flaps are driven by an electric motor. They are extended or

retracted by positioning the WING FLAP selector lever to the desired flap deflection position. The selector lever is moved up or down to provide mechanical stops at 15° (approach) to 30° (full) for the C-208EX

As a part of the float installation, the following additional changes are made to the landplane:

Examples:

N377TA

N355TA

Airplane

Weight Limitations

Float Caravan Wip 8750

1. The hydraulic landing gear retraction system components and cockpit controls are

added.

2. The landing gear emergency gear operation hand pump and system are added.

3. Auxiliary Vertical Fins are added on the horizontal tail for improved directional stability.

4. An enlarged rudder replaces the standard rudder to improve directional control during

water crosswind operations.

5. A modified secondary tailpipe replaces the standard secondary tailpipe. The modified

tailpipe redirects exhaust residue on the aircraft and floats.

6. Vortex generators are added to the wing leading edge. These help lower the stall

speed and make the wing consistent with TKS equipped aircraft, which have vortex

generators in the same locations.

7. Fences are added to the inboard ends of the spoilers and ailerons to improve lateral stability.

Empty Weight: 5,927lbs
Gross Weight: 9,062lbs
Useful Load: 3,135 lbs

The airframe of the C-208EX is an all-metal, high wing design powered by a Pratt and Whitney PT6A-140 turboprop engine.

The amphibious version of the aircraft adds Wipline 8750 amphibious floats which enable operation for both land and water.

For water operations, it may be undesirable to feather the propeller when the engine is stopped after landing the aircraft. If the engine is subsequently started with the propeller in the feather position, residual thrust complicates docking and handling of the aircraft.

To prevent feathering the propeller as during normal engine shutdown, the propeller, if so equipped, incorporates spring-loaded pins that hold the blades at flat pitch when the propeller is not rotating. The pins are disengaged by centrifugal force when the propeller is rotating above several hundred RPM. To engage the stop units upon engine shutdown, the power lever must be placed into the beta position before stopping the engine. Upon stopping, a large spring in the propeller moves it toward the feathered position, but as the RPM decays below a few hundred, the latch pins engage the piston, preventing the propeller from feathering.

S.O.P Pre-Flight Standards

Flight crew should arrive 1.5 hours prior to scheduled time of departure or as appropriate for the day's flights.
All Flight Crew Members shall ensure they have reviewed the Tropic Ocean Pilot Status Board and Aircraft Status Board prior to all flights.
At least 1 hour prior to flight,the PIC (or SIC if assigned) shall preflight the airplane by following the aircraft’s AFM preflight checklist to include:

-Ensure gear handle is in down position (or as appropriate).

-Reconnect Battery.

-Check fuel and request appropriate amount.

-Verifying fluid levels are correct.

-Sump applicable fuel drains.

-Inspecting all water rudder cables in both up and down positions.

-Inspect brakes for uneven wear.

-Pump floats.

-Check seatback, side-door pockets, and compartment below the seats for life vest (checking expiration dates).

-Check emergency seatback cards.

-Seatbelts must be buckled/inboard armrests up (if applicable).

-Check cabin for overall cleanliness and discard any trash.

-Ensure required documents, charts, and manuals are onboard.

Although the preflight can be delegated to the SIC, the PIC is ultimately responsible for and has the final authority to the airworthiness and condition of the aircraft. Regardless of who completes the preflight, a walk-around inspection is required by both pilots.

A standby system can be used to operate the flaps in the event the

primary system should malfunction. The standby system consists of a

standby motor, a guarded standby flap motor switch and a standby flap

motor up/down switch located on the overhead panel. Both switches

have guards which are safe tied in the closed position, with breakable

copper wire.

The guarded standby flap motor switch has NORM and STBY

positions. The guarded NORM position of the switch permits operation of the flaps using the control pedestal mounted selector; the STBY position is used to disable the dynamic braking of the primary flap motor when the standby flap motor system is operated.

PREFLIGHT BRIEF: Prior to the first flight of the day the PIC shall brief either himself or, if assigned, the SIC on the following items:
