Raisbeck introduces Caravan fuel quantity system upgrade
The new probe will improve fuel quantity indication for the Cessna Caravan, and will be available from early 2025.

Raisbeck Engineering and CIES, a supplier of aviation fuel quantity probes and senders, are working to jointly deliver new fuel quantity probes that offer improved fuel quantity indication for the Cessna Caravan.

“Our leadership in developing fuel quantity probes prioritises the delivery of accurate, safe and reliable fuel level readings,” says Scott Philiben, president of CIES. “Expanding the availability of our solution for the Cessna Caravan will give more operators fuel quantity information they can trust.”

Raisbeck‘s established position as a supplier of innovative products that enhance the capability and utility of industry-leading aircraft platforms makes for an ideal collaboration in getting new product to market.

Nick Lyle, vice president of sales at Raisbeck, adds: “Our customers have told us that they are excited to access new fuel quantity probes for the Caravan. We will provide a solution that will dramatically improve the system reliability, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.”

Sales of the new fuel quantity probes are set to begin in Q1 2025.
