March 19Mar 19 Are there any good sources or videos out there that really help someone understand a turboprop like the caravan? The only turboprop I've tried in flight sim was the majestic Q400 and that was ages ago. Obviously for one, the caravan doesn't have an APU😁 Marco D'Agostino
March 19Mar 19 Starting a 208 is typically easier than starting a complex GA single haha. It's like 4 or 5 steps then poof the engine is running. Top of my head (but grab the manual for an official checklist). Condition Lever (typically red) idle cutoff Battery on Beacon on(or strobes if only equipped) Fuel selectors on (overhead panel) to silence the batter master alarm Ignition on Starter move to start or on At like 15-17% ng, move fuel cutoff to low idle. Once the engine is started turn off starter. You can do taxiing or any ground ops in low idle. But high idle for takeoff. Then just turn on your avionics or generators. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
