During January this year Cessna
announced that the Grand Caravan
EX had earned FAA Type
Certification and had outperformed
initial targets. Powered by the new
Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-140
engine, the Grand Caravan EX boasts
a 38 percent improvement in the rate
of climb of the Grand Caravan, a
figure which exceeds the original 20
percent improvement projection.
"When we started with this
design, we knew we could push the
performance envelope on the Grand
Caravan EX and get it into service
for our customers in 'high and hot'
missions, but the performance we've
realized through the certification
process with the new Pratt & Whitney
Canada PT6A-140 engine has truly
exceeded our already aggressive
performance targets," said Lannie
O'Bannion, Cessna business leader for
the Caravan. With the first deliveries
of the airplane already underway,
customers are experiencing the Grand
Caravan EX benefits first-hand.

projections
"Thanks to the ingenuity of their
team and partners, the announcement
further demonstrates that the Cessna
Grand Caravan EX can work or
play in almost any theatre, region or
topography in the world," O'Bannion
said. "This is the sport utility
aircraft for practically any mission
the customer might have in mind,
business or recreation."
The EX is the latest example
of Cessna's efforts to bring new
products to customers. Six new
or upgraded Cessna models,
including the EX, will deliver
during 2013 giving customers
more choices for optimal range,
performance and value. ·
