I originally posted this on the Biz Jets/GA forum, but decided to shift it here after some good advice. Should have known you boys would be the best to come to for 'van knowledge.
Can anybody give me some ball park figures to what is a reasonable strip length for a Grand Caravan?
No need to be too scientific. Say SL to 1000ft PA. ISA to ISA +15ish. What about at MTOW?
I know the 208 is not a true STOL machine, but it has got an element of bushiness about it.
I'm guessing 700 metres would be good enough with a bit of margin. Fair? I'm sure its been in and out of some tight ones, but need to know what could be reasonably expected of it without dragging its arse over the fence!
Cheers
