Raisbeck Engineering and CiES have announced a partnership to improve fuel quantity indication for the Cessna Caravan thanks to new fuel quantity probes they expect to bring to market early next year. The collaboration combines Raisbeck’s expertise in aircraft performance modifications with CiES’ sensor technology prowess.
The probes promise to provide Caravan operators with more reliable and accurate fuel quantity readings. They are designed to enhance operational safety by ensuring precise fuel data, reduce maintenance downtime, and lower overall costs.
“Our leadership in developing fuel quantity probes prioritizes accuracy, safety, and reliability,” CiES president Scott Philiben said. “Expanding the availability of our solution for the Cessna Caravan will give operators fuel quantity information they can trust.”
Introduction of these enhanced probes comes in response to feedback from operators seeking more reliable and cost-effective fuel monitoring solutions. The probes will integrate with existing fuel systems and are expected to provide more accurate readings, which will help prevent overfilling or running out of fuel.
Starting in the first quarter of 2025, the probes will be available for purchase, and both Raisbeck and CiES anticipate significant interest from Caravan operators.
