Traveling From one part of Africa to another can sometimes still involve lengthy air trips via Europe; railway line gauges are not always compatible which makes the overland movement of goods difficult and there are no trans-African super highways to ease the flow of traffic. Inadequate infrastructure comprar zapatillas nike shox nz , navigation aids and inferior air traffic control makes African aviation particularly challenging. The great African vision of building a strong, economically vibrant and peaceful continent remains a distant dream unless the potential capacity of aviation can be harnessed. Could Cessnas Grand Caravan EX provide one of the keys to unlocking Africas socio-economic potential? The new Caravan 208B EX was dispatched by Cessna to Africa on a demonstration tour and provided for evaluation by Cessnas Southern African distributor, Johannesburg-based Comair as part of a worldwide tour. Ferried directly from the factory in the USA to Europe for the Aero 2013 Friedrichshafen air show in late April, it was thereafter ferried to Lanseria International Airport for demonstration. On completion of the South African demonstration leg, the aircraft was scheduled to be handed over to the distributor for the other African countries, Africair. A similar demonstration program me was planned for Angola then continuing up the West coast of Africa, through Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana and the Ivory Coast. With the aircraft in many ways almost everything aft of the fire wall, identical to its predecessor, the question was nike shox nz baratas , so whats new? Well, the additional power and improved performance had been well reported in aviation magazines, but to really understand the impact of the modifications, the best means by which to demonstrate the changes, would require it to be experienced by operators and aspirant owners in the region. The actual improvements in takeoff and climb performance would speak more effectively than any written report from the factory. Cessnas engineers conceived the Caravan during the 1980s while exploring possible follow-on products for the companys successful, world renowned line of single engine utility aircraft such as the 180,185,206 and 207 series, which had sold about 18000 units. Field reports indicated that operators appreciated the hard-working high-wing Cessnas, but that some aircraft were getting rather long in the tooth and were ready for replacement. Furthermore, in many regions where utility operators practiced their trade nike shox turbo 2015 , aviation gasoline (avgas) was hard, if not impossible, to obtain. A turbine -powered single, seemed like a natural design change. A little known fact is that the Caravans pedigree stems from Russell Bannock, former president of de Havilland of Canada, and Richard Hiscocks, DHCs former vice president, engineering, who had extensive experience in the challenges facing utility operators, particularly those flying DHC-2 Beavers, DHC-3 Otters and DHC-6 Twin Otters in remote regions. Missions requirements such as optimizing space nike shox mexico , volume, larger fuel tanks for operators who flew in remote areas and design changes in undercarriage design to preclude collapse during rough field operations. Thus, the first single-engine turbo prop to be designed and certificated for civil use by a major US general aviation manufacturer, was launched in the latter part of 1981.By December 1982,just 51 working weeks after the go-ahead, a prototype was flying, and on October 22,1984 ,the Cessna 208 received its FAR Part 23 certification. In February 1985, the first Caravan 1, a Model 208A nike shox baratas , was delivered to Federal Express, and as the saying goes, the rest is history. Certified for single pilot operations in various roles, missions included commuter airlines, cargo, business, travel, tourism, medevac, aerial photography, geophysical exploration adidas springblade mujer , parachute operations, and even some Para-military special missions such as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and search and rescue. Initially sized by the requirement to operate with amphibious floats and carry 55-gallon drums or large sheets of building materials, the Grand Caravan EX is relatively big for this class of aircraft. Its wingspan of 15,9 metres is wide while the length has grown to 12,7 metres in an effort to increase cabin volume .In addition to the pilot andor co-pilot ,the 1,6m wide cabin can seat eight to twelve passengers in two-abreast benches plus two single seats, or four rows of single seats on either side of a centre aisle. Additional certifications were subsequently issued for arctic operations which included among others, the fitment of skis; enlarged tyres for use on the less developed landing strips adidas supercolor baratas , and even floats for amphibian operations. Enter the EX Following on from the Caravan 1 series, the Grand Caravan is now being superseded by Cessnas latest offering, the Grand Caravan EX. There were those that thought that there was nothing much more one could do to improve on the Grand Caravan design.However, Cessnas commitment to increased research and development spends, despite a depressed market worldwide, has shown that innovative engineering and modern technology can continue to increase platform capabilities. For those charter pilots operating in Africa, respect for the Caravan is legendary so what could Cessna engineers pull out of the hat to make the aircraft even more suitable for rugged operations worldwide? There is hardly a pilot in the world who will complain about too much excess power, so it was not surprising to find that the design engineers have focused on improved engine technologies that have been developed in the recent past and, in so doing, effectively extended the scope of applications in hot and high and remote location operations. By late 2012, Cessna had earned FAA approval for its newest model adidas supercolor mexico , the Grand Caravan EX, powered by the new Pratt & Whitney PTA6A-140, which increased shaft horsepower by 28% from 675 shp flat rated to 867 shp at 1900 rpm.Following certification test .
