All aircraft are designed with their most common usage in mind. If you want to increase the flight time you only have one choice - lighten the load. "The Cessna 208 Caravan is a single turboprop engine, fixed-gear short-haul regional airliner and utility aircraft ...

The sentence was written in the context of meaning the whole event related to the crash of the aircraft, including the events which took place after the aircraft ditched in the sea.

But I thought single engine land certification prohibits night operations and flights beyond gliding distance over water. I remember flying passengers over Lake Michigan and I would have to do so @ 11,000 feet. I also remember flying Cherokee Six 300's from Fort Pierce to Freeport and could only do so during daytime. I was also required to carry personal floatation gear, a raft, and pyrotechnic signaling device(flare gun).

But that was decades ago.

I think we’re looking at an 119.21 operation. I don’t know their operation or flight areas.

I departed Wilmington Delaware once in a Cherokee in the middle of August with five persons plus pilot and four sets of golf clubs with full fuel. I used all 8,000 feet of a 10,000 foot runway and had an initial rate of climb of 100 feet per minute without stalling. The passengers thanked me when we got to their destination, for the lovely scenic view of the bay as we left because we were as low as the sailboat masts. After I burned off enough fuel and got into some cooler air I managed to squeeze out about 400 feet per minute. It took me half way to Charlotte NC to get to my filed altitude of 4,500’. If only they knew?

Nope, a 119.21 operation applies to Alaska islands only.

I’m betting a 135. Any tail numbers released?

“...but Fuddy “remained in the fuselage of the plane,” Honolulu Fire Capt. Terry Seelig told KHON-TV. “It’s always a difficult situation when you’re not able to get everybody out.”

The first reports said she was in the water, her assistant helped her get into her life jacket, she was floating there talking to him and then she became unresponsive.

I think she probably died of natural causes. It’s possible, I suppose, that the plane was tampered with in hopes of taking them all down (her assistant, also on the plane, was also involved with the BC matter). However, I think the most likely thing is simply that the plane was overloaded and just went down.

I’ve been on that flight, and it’s a very tiny plane that has to fly over a very rough terrain and rough ocean with lots of unpredictable winds and conditions.

I believe the LA Times has inaccurate information, unless the man who was holding her hand when she died was wrong.
