And that’s why we have checklists

The numbers I have from the manual for the -EX version are: 95 (10 flaps) - 110 (clean) > 500ft full flaps > and landing:
8500lbs > 78 Kias
8000lbs > 75 Kias
7500lbs > 73 Kias
7000lbs > 71 Kias
I didn’t find the rate in the manual, but I verified in the simulator that a climb rate of ~500 fpm is possible. However, as you mentioned, such speeds are not recommended in a busy airport.

I luv it! I love getting on the nerves those fast jockeys liners. Full flaps and 75Kias X’D. And on the threshold, send him a kiss. For all those times I’ve dealt with your wake turbulent remnants. BTW stop out the rwy is a good practice for one pilot aircraft like C208.
Thanks, that all makes sense. I was also flying at min weight so a bit of load will help too.
I’ll try it again in a few days, have to get through some medical procedures right now.
… I didn’t say they were pretty landings, and I’m using a 2800 metre runway at my home airport , … and yes, a bit more weight will help, thanks.

For me today it followed the course very well until on final approach, the AP caused severe lateral oscillations around the LOC, GS was tracked good. Had to handfly it down.

If you setup your Throttle lever using THROTTLE SET and use the Honeycomb Bravo, it does mimic the real aircraft controller. You just need to be very careful using THROTTLE SET. There is no dead zone between Low Idle and Beta Mode, and if you pull back into Beta Mode during decent and/or approach, you will likely crash. That has been my experience so for.
Autopilot is the first thing that needs fixing. Cannot adequately follow the magenta line. Oscillates like it is drunk. Nothing seems to fix it. BORKED.

i don’t have a Bravo, but does it not have a detent near the bottom of the axis for reverse (like the TCA)?
It does have a detent, but the analog axis ends at that detent and only a switch is activated if moved below.

Interesting. I’m curious to know which simvars are feeding those. Either there are multiple simvars holding different values, or one instrument is not displaying the correct data accurately.
It does, but I don’t see a reason for using it when using THROTTLE SET. THROTTLE SET creates three ranges on the Bravo throttle axis: 0-15% = Reverse propeller thrust; 16%-30% = Beta Mode; 31-100% = Forward propeller thrust (%'s are approximations). Forgive me if my explanation of my experience using THROTTLE SET is confusing and not correct. The last thing I want to do disseminate bad information to the community.

i was going to suggest that you modify your throttle axis curve to place flight idle at that detent, but that won’t work according to @TGAPMerlin since moving below the detent activates a switch which you would probably bind to full reverse. and therefore you won’t be able to pull down from the detent into beta. you can do this on the TCA.
I’ve noticed the same thing with the wings wig-wagging on ILS approaches… almost like it’s getting ready to stall.
It’s probably a programming error somewhere.
I recognize this doesn’t apply to you, but there are solutions to this quandary. Honeycomb Bravo Single Eng TurboProp
Somewhere around 600 torque with flaps 10 gets you about 120 knots down a normal glide path.
if you have not already done so, please vote for this bug post
