The Cessna Caravan was originally developed as a rugged and efficient bush plane for the wilderness of Alaska and Africa. The Caravan soon found favor with overnight parcel companies; FedEx has accumulated a 99.9% dispatch reliability rate in the 15 years it has operated the type. The statistical safety of the Caravan is equal to that of multi-engine turboprops. (Source: Single Turboprop Powerplant Aircraft Reliability, Robert E. Breiling Associates, Inc., August 2000). One of the primary attributes of the Caravan is its ability to handle large loads in and out of smaller, unimproved runways. The cargo pod can easily carry bicycles, surfboards, ski equipment and golf clubs, as well as the normal complement of baggage. Tradewind routinely carries eight full-size adults with golf clubs and baggage in and out of previously inaccessible locales such as Newport, Block Island and Fisher's Island.
