Cessna 208 Caravan
The Cessna 208 Caravan is a single-engine, high-wing turboprop with fixed landing gear that has flown as a passenger, cargo and amphibian utility airplane since the mid-1980s. Textron Aviation holds the type certificate. The FAA data sheet A37CE covers two models: the 208 and the longer 208B Grand Caravan. Both carry between three and eleven people, counting the pilots, with a Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-114 or PT6A-114A engine of 600 or 675 shaft horsepower. Both models share the ICAO code C208. This site lists a page for each.
