Hi Tom,
The Cessna C208 Grand Caravan, lots of scheduled flights are available for this aircraft in the geographical areas I would like to fly my Maule in. According to the Airsource Aircraft Selection regulation, pasted below, "Larger or smaller aircraft are permitted only if they qualify for runway and/or range specification." I would only choose flights that satisfied this requirement,
2.0.3.0 Aircraft selection
The only division in which aircraft substitutions are allowed is the SCHEDULED DIVISION. As always try to match the simulator aircraft to the flight plan aircraft. If the aircraft specified in the published flight plan is not available for the simulator, attempt to match as closely as possible the weight, speed, passenger capacity and range of the aircraft to that of the flight plan aircraft. Larger or smaller aircraft are permitted only if they qualify for runway and/or range specification. For example: If the flight plan calls for a Boeing 717 and the only aircraft available to you is a Boeing 767 (much larger), you are permitted to use the 767 as long as the arrival runway length is adequate for safe landing within 767 specifications.
Regards,
Simon.
