About this Aircraft
The F406 Caravan II is a utility aircraft that was manufactured during the 1980s. The aircraft can be used for reconnaissance, cargo, environmental responses, and much more. This aircraft was manufactured by the French company Reims Aviation in cooperation with Cessna. It is a modified version of a Cessna 404 Titan featuring two PT6A engines. Currently, this aircraft is used globally for maritime and military operations.
Features
iniBuidls has developed this aircraft with multiple variants for all the operations this aircraft is capable of. This add-on features all these variants:
- Passenger Transport
- Cargo/Utility
- Surveillance
- Maritime Patrol
- Environmental Response
Each variant has unique interiors and exteriors, featuring multiple included liveries. There are custom systems for specific variants, like an animated gyro-stabilised camera or a modeled coastguard SLAR and AIS radar dome.
The aircraft is faithfully modeled based on real data from the aircraft using 3D scanners. The interior features GTN 650 avionics and a custom EFB with interactive checklists and Navigraph support. Custom sounds made by Echo 19 Audio Productions are also included. The payload of the aircraft changes depending on data from the EFB or the simulator. Other systems like electrical, lighting, and the autopilot are custom-made by iniBuilds.
