Thank you for responding. I am a licensed pilot and I really enjoy your videos! I also appreciate your professionalism in the way you fly and conduct business in the air! Thank you!

Another successful flight in the "one of 2,000 PC-12's." I flew the series 9 and 10 about 1,500 hours and performed as a PC-12 CFI at SIM-COM Scottsdale, an EMS pilot, a corporate pilot, Part 135 Check Airman and company CFI. Great airplane to fly into all of the Lower 48 States that I have had the privilege of performing a smooth as silk Pilatus landing. If you respect it and learn the necessary limitations, it will always be a great way to travel. Longest flight was 1,484NM westbound and 6:31 aloft with a landing fuel of 590 lbs. Many of these airplanes will be flying 30,000+ hours and still be a viable form of transportation.

Yep I sure do love those silky landings! Do you remember what series that long flight was in? And what altitude and was it endurance power or max cruise? I’ve tried GSH-PHX which is 1339nm and was showing under 400lbs at landing so diverted. Or did you get lucky and have no wind that day?

The distance and speed capabilities are almost unmatched with the PC-12. A plane I can only dream of being able to fly one day. #ILoveThePC12 !!

#ILOVETHEPC12 Two things I love about the PC12. 1. The ability to fly in and out of short and non-standard runways i.e. dirt, grass etc. 2. The range and payload capabilities. Keep the videos coming please!

Yes! I would love to do some more non-standard runway ops in it but that doesn’t really fit our mission. Short sometimes, but no grass yet.

Thanks for another great one, I love how many options for airports the PC12 offers allowing us to land a great sized plane so much closer to our destinations #ILoveThePC12

#ILoveThePC12 because of the flat floors! This is something many jets twice the price don't even have. It is such a luxury for small kids and pets!

Like it to, although not so local..Norwegian! Got my CPL Helicopters in Ontario Canada in 1988 and CPL Airplanes 1990 in Durango, Colorado and then went on being a pilot out of Myrtle Beach SC for 4 years before returning to Norway just when the change happened in aviation where there was to many pilots and to few jobs. Then went on to work as a ROV pilot on the floating oil rigs in the North Sea. Better pay and time off (2 weeks on and 4 weeks off with full pay) so I never returned to aviation :)Now at 60 and early retired I might buy a PC12 if I win the lotto :) and fly for fun.

I was just speaking with a broker who recommended the PC12 last week. My favorite thing about it is how versatile it is as well as how it has a large cabin for passengers. All around it’s probably be the best turboprop built today in my opinion. #ILoveThePC12
