Type rating Required?

[verticalspeed]

Would a type rating be required to fly A Cessna Caravan for a tour operator single pilot?

I don't believe it's over 12,500 pounds and it's not straight turbojet so no.

None... All you would need is a Commercial Airplane, Single Engine land Certificate. Depending on what they are doing, perhaps an Instrument rating as well... That's it...

no type and single pilot is ok if it's less than 10 pax (subject to the company opspecs and the autopilot in the plane). 10 or more requires an sic and the pic must hold an ATP single engine land

Can you fit 10 or more PAX in a C-208???

Oh, you betcha.

I've been in regular and grand caravans with fifteen folks in there, no problem.

Until someone passes gas on the way to altitude.

WEll he said "Tour Operator" so I assumed all pax would be in seats, not sitting on the floor (skydivers)...

Can you fit more than 10 pax seats in a C-208?

Are there any tour operators that fly these smaller a/c IFR, or is it all VFR work?
