Now I am flying in Nepal. It isn't usual flights - for example, I have sifficulties in landing to such airstrips, as Lukla (VNLK). If you can give me advices about landing the Cessna Grand Caravan, I will be glad.

thats definitely a tough area with a lot of short field landings. i would recommend using full flaps and flying as slow as possible with a modified approach. basically, you need to be extremely close to stall speed (around 65 kts) with a minimal descent rate (come in shallow) in order to stop and still be on the runway. also, if you pull up the throttle quadrant window you will see that the caravan has reverse thrust capabilities that you can use along with the brakes to stop. hope this helps.

In real life your view over the glareshield is crucial as well. Set the seat height up 3 notches.In some aircraft this may mean that you'll be staring straight down at the runway when the nose wheel touches down, so you may want to scroll the view (using mouse/key b./joystick)away for a second during the flare. This will return your view to the default setting(straight ahead).
.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......
