REIMS F406 CARAVAN II

A TWIN-ENGINE TURBO-PROP AIRCRAFT

Reims F406

General Information

The Reims F406 Caravan II is a twin-engine, turbo-propeller, non-pressurized aircraft designed and built by Reims Aviation in collaboration with Cessna.

Described by Reims Aviation as a “workhorse,” the F406 is available in a passenger configuration with up to 10 seats or 6 seats for VIP use. It can also transport cargo with a payload of just over 1,500 kg.

Its low empty weight, cruising speed, and easy access through the cargo door make it particularly suitable for special missions, including medical evacuations.

A Hard Worker

Although the F406 Caravan II is more expensive to operate than other single-engine aircraft of similar capacity, it is faster, cruising at 230 kts (426 km/h). Additionally, it offers the safety of a second engine, enabling oceanic flights and trips to destinations such as São Tomé, Cape Verde, and the Canary Islands.

Turbo-Propeller Engines

The F406 Caravan II is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-112 reverse-flow axial centrifugal turbo-propellers, each rated at 500 horsepower.


Each powerplant drives a fully metal, variable-pitch, three-blade McCauley propeller. The PT6 turbine is globally renowned for its reliability.

Features

The aircraft is equipped with a weather radar and a Terrain Awareness Warning System (TAWS).

In partnership with Westair Aviation, we ensure that our crews are trained to the highest standards through our own flight simulator, designed to accurately reflect the cockpit and equipment of this aircraft.

The F406 Caravan II features a spacious and comfortable interior, accommodating 10 passengers in a 5.71-meter-long cabin, offering more legroom than most other aircraft in its category. In VIP configuration, the F406 can seat 6 passengers.
