Re: Succesor to the Navajo, Chieftain, Metro
What about Cessna developing a wing "strutless" and retractable undercarriage version of the Caravan? Surely there'd have to be a market for this type of aircraft.
It's been done in the past with 206/210, even though the 206 was a development of the 210.
Or would this compete too directly with the Reims C406?
On another note, when will changes occur to CAO 82.3 regarding PIC on other than high capacity aircraft (the 500 multi PIC thingy) and subsequently regional airlines' mins? I know of a caravan driver with about 200 multi and a fair stack of caravan time but the regionals won't have a look at him. Let's face it, he does exactly the same job as me and probably does the same amount of assymetrics as me (during CIR renewal), unless of course a real one hits me! I know Cathay group the two types of flying into the same category.
