nivsy, I'm SLF. I have handled aircraft such as a PA-28 and a Cessna 150. I have made many cockpit flights and landings on airliners. I have of course "qualified" (tongue-in-cheek) on MFS. As such I might (with lots of luck) just about manage to land, sorry, bounce a light aircraft on a sufficiently long and wide runway (as FLL). A Caravan is, I imagine, already a tad more complicated. The almost flawless execution of this continued flight, turns, descent, approach and landing makes it difficult for me to believe that the PF had no idea about flying an airplane. It is more likely that he was not familiar with the type but not that he had never been at the controls of an aeroplane (airplane) before.
