Cessna Caravan Operation
Hi
I am interested to explore a business, here in Europe.
The aircraft that i am looking for is the Cessna Caravan.
I know that FEDEX and among other, DHL has this aircraft type in their fleet.
Can anyone give me values of average payload carried, what kind of cargo do they carry more. Mail only?
Depending on range, what is the average fuel consumption/Payload, flight time and distance?
Can any experienced pilot on Caravan help me?
Regards

Fuel burn is about 330 pounds per hour at 140KIAS and 11000ft.
empty weight is about 5200 pounds, maximum takeoff weight is 8750lbs or 9062lbs depending if A/C has APE III Kit or not.
Max fuel is 2224 lbs.
You can pretty much load anything that you can fit throught the doors, I've seen fuel barrela, ATVs on board, regular mail and loose cargo.
you can figure out the rest with that data

The C2008B EX is worth looking at.
1000ft/m up to 10,000ft. TAS 175.
Planned on around 400lbs/hr.
Makes the difference on a trip longer than 45 mins. Less than that a C208B is better regards to fuel burn.
