The engine start cycle is much shorter then with the standard propeller

----

First Season with our Cessna 208 B „ Supervan „ D - FSWW.

After one short skydiving season (conversion was made in April) with the new MT 5 blade propeller, we can only state "PERFECT". We flew more than 200 hrs with about 350 engine start cycles. The rotation time is a bit faster than with the standard 4 blade propeller, and:

• Almost no vibrations du ring the whole flight time
• No cracks on the exhaust attachments and hand hole covers
• Noise level is 72,7 dBA instead of 76 dBA with the standard propeller

There is another important improvement: The engine start cycle is much shorter then with the standard propeller, our starter batteries have been capacitance tested and are still in an excellent condition. We only run up the engine with the internal batteries and mostly in "parallel/serial" mode to run over the critical RPM as fast as possible.
In total we can say that the decision to install this propeller was and will be absolute positive for our operation.
