Caravan. WX Radar/ Collision Avoidance.

Could anybody please enlighten me as to the type of weather radar and aircraft collision avoidance system the Caravan 208 are equipped with.

None that works very well on the ground apparently! ;)

The Caravan comes standard with a full 2 x 1 metre collision avoidance system, built of perspex. It is also transparent. Additional backup collision avoidance systems include a number of side-installed perspex units.

All have at least one pair of Mk I Human Eyeballs that have been recently checked, calibrated if required and issued with an Authorised Release Certificate.:E

Depends on the age of the Caravan.

The older vans have the King equip, generally do not have much above the ordinary.

The newer versions have the Garmin gear fitted, you can option pretty much everything bar auto-throttles and super sonic flight.

Although, there was a swiss guy on a Flightsafety course last year, that literally printed money ( well 95% of the worlds currency ), he was putting a -10 garret in his float C208, certainly getting closer to Mach 1.0.
