WAT TABLE CALCULATIONS (please check for accuracy)

These are my calculations @40 degrees Centigrade (or below) using the tables provided for a Short Field Technique (with Cargo Pod installed). PA’s of 2000’ & 4000’ are there to shown interpolation and provide variations for the possible PA for the day.

lilflyboy reported to me as approximately 5 knots. Never-the-less I have not included a wind component even though it will reduce the figures below.

8525lbs (between the above figures)


2750’ = 722/1285 m

3000’ = 739/1316 m

3500’ = 772/1379 m


Keep in mind that the aircraft (according to the sources I spoke to ) did not have the APE III conversion and therefore had to be 8500 lbs (or less) on arrival at Xakanaka (Landing weight limit).

As above you add 15% (dry/grass), another 3% in case full Torque was not used, another 5% if the Separator was in by-pass.

This is for a Standard C208B. I could not get a hold of a POH for a Van with the APE II conversion.Someone please check these, but these figures indicate that even a standard Van could get out of this strip easily which is listed at 840 meters usable.

Now down to the W&B I guess.
