Hi folks,
My company is looking at replacing our current fleet (mixture of piston singles/twins) engaged mostly in parachuting (with some ad hoc charter) with a larger turbine single. On paper, an aircraft like the C208 Caravan or even Grand Caravan looks good.
Could anybody shed some light on the scheduled maintenance/inspection intervals of this aircraft (or aircraft in its class i.e. PC6), i.e. what periods routine maintenance occurs at, and more importantly, how long this maintenance takes (man hours or whatever). Naturally, the relevant companies will have the book figures but actual operator experience is as important, in my view.
Thanks, in advance
