20800246, 208B0001 through 208B0501) and CE-3 (20800247 and on, 208B0502 and on), and
Delegation Option Manufacturer No. CE-3 (20800247 and on, 208B0502 and on) authorized to
issue airworthiness certificates under delegation option provisions of Part 21 of the Federal Aviation
Regulations.
Equipment The basic required equipment as prescribed in the applicable airworthiness regulations (see
Certification Basis) must be installed in the aircraft for certification. This equipment must include a
current Pilots Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.
NOTE 1 Current weight and balance report including list of equipment included in certificated empty weight and
loading instructions, when necessary, must be provided for each aircraft at the time of original certification.
Verify from aircraft records whether or not SK 208-52 Wing Take External Sump Installation has been
installed. The certified empty weight and corresponding center of gravity location must include full oil of
29 lbs. (at +69.2), and unusable fuel as follows:

NOTE 2 The placards specified in the Pilots Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manuals
listed below (or later revision) must be displayed:

Model 208 airplanes modified in accordance with SK-208-12 should use Cessna P/N D1307-27-13PH (or
later revision).
NOTE 3 Airplanes 20800001 through 20800060 are eligible for operation at the same weight and C.G. approved for
S/N 20800061 and up when modified in accordance with SK-208-12 or SK-208-85A 208A to 208 Caravan
I Cargo Configuration Conversion.
NOTE 4 Mandatory inspection times for all wing and wing carry through structural components are contained in the
Model 208 Series Maintenance Manual.
NOTE 5 In addition to the placards required by NOTE 2 above, the prescribed operating limitations indicated by an
asterisk (*) must also be displayed as permanent markings.
NOTE 6 Special Ferry Flight Authorization. Flight Standards District Offices are authorized to issue special
overweight ferry flight authorizations. These airplanes are structurally satisfactory for ferry flight if
maintained within the following limits: (1) Takeoff weight must not exceed the maximum certified takeoff
weight multiplied by a gross weight increase factor up to 1.3 (e.g. 8,000 x 1.3 =10,400 lb); (2) the
Maximum Operating Airspeed (V
MO
) must be divided by the same gross weight increase factor (e.g. V
MO
=
175 1.3 =135 KIAS); (3) Forward and aft center of gravity limits may not be exceeded: and (4)
A37CE 10 Rev. 16
NOTE 6 (contd)
Structural load factors of +2.5 g. to -1.0 g. may not be exceeded. This determination is based upon the
production configuration of the airplane and does not account for modifications, such as STCs, that may
have affected the gross weight of the airplane. The excess weight authorized is limited to the additional
fuel, fuel-carrying tanks, and navigational equipment necessary for the flight. Requirements for any
additional engine oil should be established in accordance with Advisory Circular AC 23.1011-1. Increased
stall speeds and reduced climb performances should be expected for the increased weights. Flight
characteristics and performance at the increase weights have not been evaluated. Procedures for issuing a
Flight Permit for operations of overweight aircraft may be found in Advisory Circular AC 21-4.
