Re: CL 415 s. For Sale

I think you might be surprised at the cost of maintenance required for a CL-415. Never mind the fact that they require specialised equipment wherever they go (scissor lifts for example) and can't just operate out of small airports that might be closer to the working area.

The original post said the aircraft had 2 crew and 6 pax plus presumably some luggage and full fuel. The last Ho I flew would be significantly over gross with that load if you were using segmented weights....... Its a Chieftain... With full fuel and 8 people it would be right on max gross.

Re: Crash @ North Spirit Lake Ont (4 dead, 1 survivor)

Just saw the CTV Winnipeg news and they had interviewed a George R. as an aviation consultant.

Why is this company still around?

Re: 208 in hudson bay

.. Also, to get the range required to fly that far, the auto pilot would have had to have the TOC pretty much at the airplane's service ceiling. Would never have made it at 6000'.. Caravan holds 2400 lbs of fuel (full fuel). Burns about 365 lbs/hr. Thats 6.58 hours of flying at 140 kts gives 921 nm...
