If you fly with it then you will feel the sensation of nervous though flying with this Cessna plane even if its a short distance flight. The aircraft is capable of carrying about 11 passengers (including pilot and navigator), although in fact if its allowed, the aircraft is capable of carrying up to 14 passengers because the aircraft is quite tough and can even be used for cargo operations.

My flight using the Cessna 208b Grand Caravan is an unforgettable experience that could not enjoyed by many people. What a valuable experience.
