Every day, Caravan Amphibians bring civilization to corners of the earth that have never even thought of having a traditional runway. And, every day, hunters, anglers and other outdoorsmen use the Caravan to escape civilization entirely. So, go ahead. Load it up with a generous amount of baggage and passengers. Stuff even more gear into the enormous, sturdy floats. Lift off and fly at speeds in excess of 162 knots (300 km/hr) for more than 500 nautical miles (925 km). Your Caravan can take it.

Dock and load.

Exterior

Whether your mission is freight or airlines, personal/corporate or amphibian, the Caravan is fully equipped to meet all of your needs. It starts with a timeless high-wing design that offers so many practical benefits, including greater stability, superb visibility, sun blocking and inclement weather protection. The high-wing design also results in a simplified preflight inspection and easy access to pilot, passenger and cargo doors. And like our traditional high-wing single engine aircraft, the Caravan is constructed with durable aluminum, making it easy to maintain and repair, with no life limits on airframe. Additionally, our proven, reliable wet-wing tanks between front and rear spar hold 2,248 pounds (1,270 l) of fuel, increasing range. But our proven combination of function and design doesn’t stop there. 

Interior

Whether you’re flying for family, sport or raw utility, it should go without saying that the Cessna Caravan is one aptly named vehicle. With up to 340 cubic feet (9.6 m3) of cabin space for up to 12 passengers*, you can carry a mountain of cargo or a healthy combination of both. Your excursions far and wide will always be well-provisioned.

Avionics

Same great Caravan. All-new command center. This Garmin G1000 glass cockpit integrates all primary flight, engine and sensor data to provide intuitive, at-a-glance situational awareness. The system includes fully integrated transponder and dual Nav/Comm/GPS. Two LCD primary flight displays and a center Multifunction Display present real-time flight-critical data. Including traffic. Topographic and relative terrain. Digital attitude and heading. Engine and Airframe Indication and Crew Alerting. Standard equipment also includes the impressive capabilities of Garmin's new digital, fully-integrated GFC 700 automated flight control system. All of which bring new levels of safety and confidence to your go-anywhere, do-everything Caravan. Plus, the G1000 is also standard on our legacy single-engine aircraft. So should your mission change, your transition between aircraft couldn't be smoother.

Engine

With over 300 million total flight hours to its credit, the Caravan’s Pratt & Whitney PT6A engine has a scheduled overhaul interval of 3,600 hours and a hot section inspection at 1,800 hours. The cowling can be completely removed in less than 15 minutes, exposing the engine and accessories for exceptional ease of maintenance. So you can keep your aircraft out of the shop and in the sky, where it belongs. 

Safety

There's a saying in the aviation world: "No one gets fired for buying a Cessna." Cessna Aircraft Company has been around for more than 80 years, and we'd like to think we've picked up a thing or two about safety along the way. Not unlike most of our aircraft, today's Caravan has evolved through years of meticulous quality testing and pilot feedback. Flying today's Caravan translates to a variety of benefits for our customers: more favorable insurance premiums and lower costs of ownership, just to name a couple. But most importantly, our determined efforts to improve safety result in peace of mind and confidence when you take to the skies.  

Amphibious missions

No matter your maritime destination, the Caravan Amphibian can take you there. Whether it’s fly-fishing in the Rockies or lounging south of the border. Whatever floats your boat.

Dual-purpose floats

Not only will you be able to land on water, adding floats to your Caravan 208 also gives you more storage space.

Unsurpassed flexibility

From executive travel to freight hauling, or both, the Caravan Amphibian is a workhorse that delivers on land, water and in the air.
