Hello,
next weekend im going to start flying Cessna 207 with skyjumpers, Could anyone write some tips and trick for that airplane?!
I have experience on C208 Caravan.

Regards

Could anyone tell me practical thing about checking fuel in C207?
Im sure that fuel gauges are fakes so how about fuel stick?
Ive got one but for C150/152....
its so important for me because im gonna to fly with parajumpers

1. Savage, not sure what you're used to flying, but the 206 and 207's are pretty similar, and probably both harder to fly than what you're flying now, it's a bit of a truck.

Both require loads of AFT trim before you reduce power for landing due to the heavy front end, the normally aspirated 207 is a real dog at higher elevations, anyone experienced in one can fly the other.

2. Kubaat, I have no 208 time, I doubt if the two are remotely similar, I hope your fuel stick is nice and accurate, because when you fly those para jumper types, you won't be carrying much fuel, why, because it's a dog!

The tricks about jumping will hopefully be given to you by an experienced jump pilot, there's a little more to than you think, take good care of the engine in the descents is one of the key points, have fun.

Cheers, DL

You have all missed it.

The difference between the 206 and 207 is 1.

Simples.

-1 if going from a 207 to 206.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER fly without wearing an escape umbrella. If a jumper has an unintentional deployment over the tail, you NEED to be at least 4,500' AGL to get out and pull. Even then expect about 4 or 5 seconds under canopy and keep your feet together or you may break a leg.

Enjoy, it's great fun!! :ok:(Seriously)
