C208 Type rating
No, you don't get a C208 rating as it is covered under the SEA (<5,700kg) class rating. It is not even mentioned in the section XII Flight review and Proficiency Check tables - all you get is an endorsement by the FE that you have done an SEA flight review. The fact that it is done in a C208 is recorded in your logbook and that is what you would use to prove you have done the flight review under CASR 61.747
But check that you have got GTE (+ PXS if you fly a pressurized turbine) under Design Feature Endorsements to make sure you are legal.
That is what FCL/CLARC told me.

If you're looking into parachute ops then I would recommend doing the endo at Ramblers. They have a c208 at their Toogoolawah DZ. CP out their is a nice bloke named John and said the rating would cost around 4.5K

Thanks QFF, I have GTE and PXS on the new licence.
Reading 61.747 clarified a bit.
Here is an extract relevant to anybody who held a C208 endorsement (or for that matter King Air 200, Conquest, etc.) before the 1st September 2014:
The instrument mentioned in subregulation 2 above is CASA 186/14.
What really strikes me as a vicious circle is that the only way to show anybody (a potential employer, FOI etc.) that you satisfy subregulation 4 above is to show the logbook with the appropriate sticky label or the old CAR 5 licence.
For this reason I'm going to hold on to the old licence and carry it with me together with the Part 61 one.
Why CASA can't simply write it as an endorsement of the SEA class rating escapes me.
