It's official folks! Green Biodiesel made from soy beans for $85 a gallon limits the performance of Pratt & Whitney turbofan engines. And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a Caravan a single(centerline) line of thrust twin engine airplane?

You cannot be an air carrier operating over water, at night, or beyond a 50 nm raduis in a single engine airplane as an air carrier under FAA Part 121 certification. (or part 122, it's been a long-long time for me)

I’ll correct you1 The Caravan is a single engine high-wing turboprop. You are thinking of the Cessna Skymaster which was a CLT Twin.
