CARAVAN 208 SIC TRAINING PROGRAM


INTRODUCTION
This training program will ensure that each pilot has a satisfactory level of training and
skill to properly perform their duties as second in command (SIC) in the Cessna 208
Caravan under VFR flight operations as required by FAR Part 135.345 and 135.347.
Although by definition this is an upgrade training program (different crewmember
position in the same aircraft) it is substantially different because only pilots who have
been previously trained and checked as pilot in command in the Cessna 208 Caravan will
be eligible to participate in this SIC training program.
OBJECTIVE OF TRAINING
The objective of this program is to train pilots who have been previously trained and
checked as PIC of the Cessna 208 Caravan to perform the duties of SIC the Cessna 208
Caravan.
Westwind does not differentiate between the duties of the PIC and the SIC when flying
the Cessna 208 Caravan under VFR. Therefore the primary objective of this training
program is to ensure that the pilot designated as SIC and occupying the right pilot seat is
able to perform all the functions of the PIC from the right seat.
CURRICULUM PREREQUISITES
The curriculum is designed to accommodate pilots who are to be trained as SIC of the
Cessna 208 Caravan. Only pilots that have been previously trained and checked as PIC of
the aircraft are eligible.

Westwind Aviation, Inc. will insure that each PIC meets the prerequisites for
employment, using requirements established by 14 CFR Part 135.

Taxiing:
Objective:
This procedure provides training for smooth, safe, and practical taxi operations.
Description:
When ready to taxi, add power while holding feet on brakes. Ensure that brakes hold, then release foot
pressure on brake and let aircraft start to move. Taxi at a moderate speed and avoid making fast turns
that put abnormal side loads on the landing gear. Maximum speed for taxiing should be that which
would allow the aircraft to be safely controlled in the event of a brake failure. Unless passing close to
another aircraft or object, the nose of the aircraft should always follow the painted taxi lines.
Checklist Procedure:
1) BRAKES Check
2) FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS Check
Notes:

Use the minimum power necessary. Excessive power erodes prop blades and blasts the
surrounding area with debris.
Always be aware of where your tail is pointed. We operate in a lot of soft field conditions
where the people and equipment can get sand blasted.
A brake check should be made at the start of taxi.
Use rudder for steering Not brakes!
Speed control with the power lever first and then with brakes. If brakes are used, power
should be at idle or in the Beta Range.
Taxi speeds will show good professional judgment.
Taxi using aft elevator to maximize the clearance of the prop from the ground on soft field
and minimize propeller wear.

Acceptable Performance Guidelines:


A. Always test brakes before taxiing.
B. Maintain safe distances from other aircraft and objects.
C. Taxi at a safe speed with proper aileron and elevator control surface
displacement.
D. Controls direction and speed without excessive use of brakes.
E. Complies with airport markings, signals and ATC clearances.
F. Completes the appropriate checklist.

Normal Takeoff:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver describes methods and techniques to be employed during a normal takeoff.
Description:
Brief the instructor pilot on takeoff procedures prior to clearance for takeoff. This briefing should
consist of at least the following: liftoff speed, best rate of climb speed, applicable power settings and
what to do in case of engine failure.
During takeoff roll, monitor engine instruments and use whatever control displacement is needed to
compensate for crosswind conditions and other variables, maintaining runway heading. Lift off should
be made at the manufacturers recommended takeoff speed for normal takeoff. The pitch attitude that
will obtain the best rate of climb speed for the particular aircraft will be used until 500 AGL.
Note:

A. Because takeoff is the most critical phase of flight, careful attention should
be given to the use of a checklist before every takeoff.
B. Power control should be smooth and positive with thought given to P
factor and mechanical strains on the engine.
C. The takeoff run should be maintained down the centerline to improve
proficiency and to allow for blowouts or unexpected swerves.

Checklist:
1) WING FLAPS Set to 20 degrees for all takeoffs
2) POWER Set
3) ANNUNCIATORS - Check
4) ROTATE 70-75 KIAS. The airplane will fly itself off of the ground, then accelerate in ground effect

Normal Landing:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver provides training through the entire landing traffic pattern, including touchdown and
rollout. It is used to develop proper techniques in power and control usage at low airspeeds during the
critical phases of final approach and touchdown.
Description:
The before landing checklist will be completed before entering the traffic pattern. Unless otherwise
directed by ATC, entry should be midfield, 45 degrees to the downwind leg at traffic pattern attitude.
Speed should be reduced to that compatible with other aircraft in the pattern if practicable. When
downwind opposite the point of touchdown, complete the landing checklist. Angle of bank should not
exceed 30 degrees while in the traffic pattern. When established on final approach and landing flaps
have been extended, stabilize airspeed to that recommended by the manufacturer. If a recommended
airspeed is not furnished by the manufacturer. A speed equal to 1.3 Vso should be used. The approach
should be planned so the landing will be made in the center of the first third of the runway, with a
smooth transition from approach to landing attitude. The after landing checklist will not be
accomplished until clear of the runway.
Checklist:
1) WING FLAPS Full Down
2) AIRSPEED 75-85 KIAS
3) TOUCHDOWN Mains first, then lower nosewheel gently
4) POWER LEVER - Beta
5) BRAKES Apply as Necessary

Crosswind Takeoffs and Landings:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver provides training in the more complex control techniques and limitations of the
aircraft during takeoff and landing with crosswind conditions.
Description:
Takeoffs:
Careful consideration should be given to the effects of a strong crosswind
before taxiing to the takeoff position. Narrow wheel treads, high center of gravity and
light weight when combined, result in an aircraft easily turned over in gusty cross and
tail winds. At the start of the takeoff, the ailerons are displaced into the wind and
rudder is used for directional control. As the nosewheel or tailwheel comes off the
ground loop could result. The aircraft should remain in slipping flight until well clear of
the ground and then allowed to crab into the wind to continue the flight path straight
out on the runway extended centerline.
Landings:
On final approach, the crab will be changed to a slip. The force held on the controls is
proportionate to the crosswind. The slip must keep the flight path and the longitudinal
axis of the aircraft aligned with the runway centerline. As ground contact is made on
the wheel into the wind, the controls are gradually moved further in the same direction
to compensate for loss of control effectiveness as speed decreases.
Acceptable Performance Guidelines:
A. Guidelines from Normal Takeoff & Landing apply
B. Track maintained down centerline of runway for takeoff and landing
C. No drifting or crabbing at touchdown; no skipping or side loads imposed on
gear
D. Control maintained so that no danger of ground loop exist. Correct flight
path after takeoff
E. Completes appropriate checklists

Short Field Takeoff:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver provides practice to develop proficiency in overcoming problems peculiar to
marginal operations, which may be encountered while taking off from short fields.
Description:
It is impossible to specify a procedure that should be used for all situations involving the need for
short field takeoff and climb techniques. Careful analysis of the field conditions and a thorough
understanding of the aircraft operators manual will determine what procedure should be used in a
given situation. In any case, when the correct takeoff technique is used, the aircraft will reach liftoff
speed with the minimum ground run to attain the selected initial climb speed. The existing obstacle
situation dictates the climb speeds selected.
Short Field Takeoff (Hard Surface):
The short field takeoff is made like a normal takeoff with the following differences.
Starting from the farthest possible position downwind, the aircraft is accelerated on the
ground roll until the airspeed approaches the rotation speed. Rotate the aircraft to
liftoff at the rotation speed.
If an obstacle climb is required, adjust the pitch attitude to maintain barrier speed until
clear of the obstacle (about 50 AGL when simulated), then pitch attitude is adjusted for
best rate of climb speed. Upon reaching 500 AGL accelerate to cruise climb and reduce
to climb power. If flaps are used, retract them after reaching a safe height.
Follow the manufacturers recommendations as to speeds, use of flaps, and power
setting if different from those specified above.
If an obstacle climb is not required, after liftoff adjust the pitch attitude for best rate of
climb speed and at 500 AGL, accelerate to cruise climb and reduce to climb power.

Short Field Landings:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver is practiced to develop proficiency in overcoming problems peculiar to marginal
operations, which may be encountered while landing at short fields.
Description:
Short field landings should be made from a stabilized final approach in landing configuration.
Manufacturers recommended airspeed should be used with moderately low power and a constant
rate of descent. The landing should be accomplished with little or no floating. Upon touchdown,
the power lever should be retarded to beta, then reverse immediately, accompanied by application
of brakes to minimize the after landing roll.
Note:

Extreme caution should be exercised when practicing short field landings at minimum
speeds. At these speeds, high sinkrates may occur in some aircraft requiring excessive
attitude and/or power for recovery.

Engine Failure Immediately After Takeoff:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
To gain experience in carrying out the procedures necessary to execute a safe emergency landing in the
event of an engine failure immediately after takeoff.
Description:
Prompt lowering of nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide attitude is the first response to an
engine failure after takeoff. In most cases, the landing should be planned straight ahead with only small
changes in direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom sufficient to execute a 180
degree gliding turn necessary to return to the runway. The checklist procedures assume that adequate
time exists to secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown.

Go Around from a Rejected Landing:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver develops an understanding of airplane climb capabilities in the landing configuration.
Description:
This maneuver involves a go-around with the engine operating normally while in the final stages of a
landing approach. All phases of the before landing checklist will have been completed. At any time on
final approach, prior to actual touchdown, the instructor will command, go-around. This will simulate
a landing obstacle; such as, fire equipment, another aircraft, large animal, etc., moving onto the runway
directly into the landing path; or, a sudden and violent shift in surface wind. The trainee will
immediately apply maximum power and stop the descent. When descent has stopped, the flaps will be
retracted to 20 degrees and aircraft pitch adjusted to avoid altitude loss.
After a positive rate of climb is established, the aircraft is accelerated to Vy. From this point, the
maneuver will be conducted in the same manner as a normal takeoff.
Checklist:
1) POWER LEVER Advance for takeoff power.
2) WING FLAPS Retract to 20 degrees
3) AIRSPEED Pitch for 80 KIAS MINIMUM until obstacles are cleared
4) WING FLAPS Retract after obstacles are cleared and a safe altitude is obtained

No Flap Approach And Landing:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver provides training in making approaches and landing with simulated failure of
components of the landing flap system and standby flap system.
Description:
No-flap landings will be conducted as a normal landing except without flaps and at the manufacturers
recommended airspeeds. The trainee should be aware that in most aircraft the touchdown will be in a
higher than normal nose-up attitude, and that the landing roll will be longer due to the loss of drag
caused by the no-flap condition and higher touchdown speed. The use of brakes may be required as
dictated by runway length and surface.
Checklist:
1) WING FLAPS Up
2) AIRSPEED 100 115 KIAS
3) TOUCHDOWN Main Wheels 1st
4) POWER LEVER Beta
5) BRAKES As Required
Acceptable Performance Guidelines:
A. Touchdown is to be on or within 200 feet beyond desired point

Simulated Forced Landing:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver affords the trainee practice in developing gliding distance judgement and planning
required to land at a selected point when necessitated by engine failure during flight.
Description:
A simulated forced landing can be given with the aircraft in any configuration. The instructor will call
forced landing and check that the power lever is at idle. In order to obtain the best glide ratio, the
cleanest configuration and best glide speed are normally established as soon as possible. If the airspeed
is above the glide speed the trainee should maintain altitude. Place the aircraft in its cleanest
configuration and allow airspeed to dissipate to best glide. Altitude permitting, the trainee should
determine the best landing area available, maneuvering the aircraft as required to do so. The many
variables; such as, altitude, obstructions, wind direction, landing direction, land surface, gradient, and
landing distance requirements of the aircraft will determine the pattern and approach techniques used
to complete the maneuver. The trainee should consider landing on a long field, crosswind; or uphill and
downwind, if such a landing would be safer than directly into the wind on available landing areas.
Notes:
Utilizing any combination of normal gliding maneuvers, from wings level to spirals, the trainee is
expected to eventually arrive at the normal key position at normal traffic pattern altitude for the
selected landing area. From this point on, the approach is as nearly possible as a similar normal poweroff approach, allowing the trainee to use his previous experience in judging his landing point.
Cockpit checks to determine cause of emergency are a part of this maneuver. Items appropriate to the
aircraft being used will be covered; such as, checking fuel tanks, fuel pump, and ignition.
It is mandatory that the instructor and trainee know who is going to initiate the go-around and who will
be flying the aircraft at that time. No simulated forced landing is to be carried below 200 AGL unless a
safe landing is assured. Proximity of persons and structures must be considered when descending
below 500 AGL.

Maneuvering at Minimum Controllable Airspeed:

VFR/IFR

In preparation for all IFR checkrides, this maneuver will be conducted while wearing a
view limiting device.
Objective:
These maneuvers pre-stall demonstrate the degree of controllability available while in close proximity to
the pre-stall buffet. They provide the opportunity to practice control techniques which are most
beneficial in the low speed regimes encountered during takeoffs, landings, and power plant failure
emergency situations.
Descriptions:
Flight at minimum controllable airspeed is practiced in cruise and landing configurations and will consist
of straight flight, turns, climbs, and descents. By definition, the term Flight at minimum controllable
airspeed means a speed at which any further increase in angle of attack or increase in back pressure
will cause an immediate physical indication of a stall. Stall warning devices on U.S. Certificated aircraft
are required by regulation to be activated at least 5 but not more than the greater of 10 knots, or 15%
of the stalling speed, and must continue until the stall occurs. In view of the above requirements, flight
at minimum controllable airspeed will result in activation of the stall warning device.
Procedure Checklist:
1) HEIGHT At least 1500 feet AGL.
2) AREA Perform clearing turns
3) CONFIGURATION (FLOW) CHECK:
FUEL SELECTORS Both On
POWER LEVER Set for Desired Airspeed (110-120 KIAS)
PROPELLER Set 1900 rpm
WING FLAPS Full Up (0 Degrees).
ENGINE INSTRUMENTS In the Green
4) LANDING AREA A suitable emergency landing area is within gliding distance.
5) MANEUVER PROCEDURE:
POWER LEVER Retard slowly to approximately 300-400 FT-LBS
WING FLAPS Add one increment at a time as aircraft slows
AIRSPEED Reduce to MCA.
HEADING Maintain desired heading
RUDDERS Maintain coordinated flight.
AT MINIMUM CONTROLLABLE AIRSPEED:
THROTTLE Adjust as necessary to maintain desired altitude
PITCH Adjust as necessary to maintain desired airspeed.
TURNS Shallow bank in both directions to desired heading.

Stalls and Approaches to Stalls:

VFR/IFR

In preparation for all IFR checkrides, this maneuver will be conducted while wearing a
view limiting device.
Objective:
To develop in the trainee a feel for the flight characteristics in stalls and approaches to stalls. To teach
the trainee to react instinctively and correctly in stall recovery.

Description:
Stalls will be practiced under the following operating conditions: takeoff/departure, enroute
configuration and approach to landing.
1. Takeoff/Departure stalls will be performed straight ahead and from 15 to 20 degrees
constant banked turns in takeoff configuration. The climb will be entered at liftoff
speed while adding power. The angle of attack will be gradually increased until a stall
occurs. At least 50-60 % power should be used.
2. Approach to landing stalls are performed from straight glides and moderately banked
gliding turns (not to exceed 30 degrees) in landing configuration. The demonstration is
entered at landing approach speed and gradually reduced until a stall occurs. Idle
power, or the power that would be used for a normal approach, should be used.
3. Enroute stalls are performed straight ahead or turning in cruise configuration.

Part 3: Instrument Procedures


The following maneuvers will be performed while wearing a view limiting device, for all VFR and IFR
training and checkrides.
Constant Rate Climbs & Descents:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver will provide training and experience related to attitude instrument flying during climbs
and descents.
Description:
During these maneuvers, power is used to establish and maintain the vertical velocity while pitch is used
to control the airspeed. A constant rate climb is established by increasing back pressure while
simultaneously applying power. Once the pitch attitude has been established to produce the desired
airspeed, the power is adjusted to maintain the desired rate of climb or descent.
Acceptable Performance Guidelines:
A. Demonstrates climbs and descents at a constant rate in straight and
turning flight
B. Maintains specified rate of descent within 100 fpm
C. Maintains airspeed within 10 knots, heading within 10 degrees, of it turning,
within 5 degrees of the specified bank angle
D. Performs level off within 100 feet of the specified altitude
E. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation and applies the
appropriate corrections.

Constant Airspeed Climbs & Descents:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver provides training and experience related to attitude instrument flying during constant
airspeed climbs and descents.
Description:
When making a descent airspeed is reduced to the desired airspeed by reducing power while
maintaining straight & level flight. When the descent airspeed is reached, a further reduction in power
is made and simultaneously the nose is lowered to maintain a constant airspeed. The power should
remain at fixed position and deviations in airspeed should be corrected by making pitch changes. Do not
jockey the throttle.
When starting a climb from cruising airspeed, the nose of the airplane on the attitude indicator is raised
in relation to the artificial horizon to the approximate climbing attitude. Only a small amount of
elevator back pressure should be added to initiate and maintain the climb attitude. The power setting
may be advanced to climb power simultaneously with the pitch change, or, after the pitch change is
established and the airspeed approaches the desired climb speed.
Acceptable Performance Guidelines:
A. Demonstrate climb and descents at a constant airspeed in straight and
Turning flight
B. Maintains airspeed within 10 knots
C. Maintains heading within 10 degrees, or in a turning maneuver, within 5
degrees of specified bank angle
D. Performs level off within 100 feet of the specified altitude
E. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation and applies the
appropriate corrections

Recovery From Unusual Attitudes:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver will provide training and experience related to recovery from unusual attitudes while
attitude instrument flying.
Description:
Unusual attitudes are normally the result of improper instrument flying technique, distraction or
turbulence. The recovery procedures, are first to determine if the airspeed is high or low. For low
airspeed the steps are, add power, decrease attitude and level wings. For high airspeed, reduce power
first, level the wings, and raise the nose of the aircraft to straight and level flight.
Acceptable Performance Guideline:
A. Uses proper instrument cross check and interpretation, and applies the
appropriate pitch, bank and power corrections in the correct sequence
to return the aircraft to a stabilized level flight attitude

Simulated Forced Landing:

VFR/IFR

Objective:
This maneuver affords the trainee practice in developing gliding distance judgement and planning
required to land at a selected point when necessitated by engine failure during flight.
Description:
A simulated forced landing can be given with the aircraft in any configuration. The instructor will call
forced landing and check that the power lever is at idle. In order to obtain the best glide ratio, the
cleanest configuration and best glide speed are normally established as soon as possible. If the airspeed
is above the glide speed the trainee should maintain altitude. Place the aircraft in its cleanest
configuration and allow airspeed to dissipate to best glide. Altitude permitting, the trainee should
determine the best landing area available, maneuvering the aircraft as required to do so. The many
variables; such as, altitude, obstructions, wind direction, landing direction, land surface, gradient, and
landing distance requirements of the aircraft will determine the pattern and approach techniques used
to complete the maneuver. The trainee should consider landing on a long field, crosswind; or uphill and
downwind, if such a landing would be safer than directly into the wind on available landing areas.
Notes:
Utilizing any combination of normal gliding maneuvers, from wings level to spirals, the trainee is
expected to eventually arrive at the normal key position at normal traffic pattern altitude for the
selected landing area. From this point on, the approach is as nearly possible as a similar normal poweroff approach, allowing the trainee to use his previous experience in judging his landing point.
Cockpit checks to determine cause of emergency are a part of this maneuver. Items appropriate to the
aircraft being used will be covered; such as, checking fuel tanks, fuel pump, and ignition.
It is mandatory that the instructor and trainee know who is going to initiate the go-around and who will
be flying the aircraft at that time. No simulated forced landing is to be carried below 200 AGL unless a
safe landing is assured. Proximity of persons and structures must be considered when descending
below 500 AGL.
