Well, as far as the Caravan is concerned, you might as well forget it altogether. 200 meters is about the distance it takes for it to got from 0 to 30 knots, i.e. it is not a STOL plane by any means.

I guess for such a short field and a ton payload, there are not many alternatives to the DHC6 and the PC6, on the Western side of aviation at least.

And who would want to bring "bowling balls, a Steinway grand piano and palimino horses" to such a sthole anyway?
