We fly our own damn planes. Your best line yet in all your videos. Great script, narration, and script. You are the man!

This is probably the most ambitious video you've done to date. Love the comparisons to other planes!

Excellent video, I would 2 important facts about the PC-12: 1) extremely low incident rate - extremely safe 2) trailing-arm landing gear - this allows to land on unprepared fields Simply looking at real world statistics from users, this plane is a masterpiece of aeronautical engineering.

Do the PC-24! Need to understand the cost of my “if I win the lottery” plans.

But avast! She floats! 😆 Edit - wasn’t expecting an F-35 comment - Too bad that thing doesn’t float given how many end up in the water!

Finally!!!! One suggestion for videos - would be interesting to see a financing chart of some kind. Interest payments, depreciation, etc. just a thought as many times that plays into the decision making process of buying something like this and it’d be cool to see how you pick the important parts away. Awesome video as always!!!!

Bingo. Including the cost of money is an important part of operating cost.

What a lot of people don’t keep in mind is the time spent on the ground due to mx or going from cold and black to mission ready. Both of which this plane excels at. Everything is easy to fix and the plane can have that prop spinning in 5 minutes if you hustle. For those who like their warranties tho, have fun lol their warranty center will keep your plane down for much longer than you’d care for. Get yourself an A&P and if they can source parts, you’re practically always mission ready.

Thank you very much, this is my favorite plane and complete walk around. This was your best work so far. On to the DC-3 review.

@@PetesGuide Right. KHHR->KSQL-KHHR was one experience. The king air was another (SoCal only, much shorter trip KSBA-KSNA). Honestly the King Air felt like it was configured for more room and comfort. Nothing against SurfAir, but their configuration on the Pilatus was kind of crampt. If the PC12 were configured different, it surely would've been a toss up.

Thanks! Antonov AN2 sure is a big fella. 12,500 pounds is a common MTOW because its as big as you can go and remain in the 'small' weight class. Helps to keep fees down.

Any chance you could look at an old small king air, maybe an E90?

Me: When are you going to make the Kodiak video? CW: Let me introduce you to the PC-12. Me:😛

Excellent video! I think you should take a look at Pacific Aerospace PAC P-750 XSTOL. A turboprop single with a PT6 of about 4000lbs useful load, 140kt cruise speed, 1200nm range. It claims to have a take off roll of 721ft and a landing roll of only 543ft. Do you think this could compete against the Caravan?

@CompleteWalkaround

Жыл бұрын

Hi, thanks. P750 is an interesting one. In this video I was talking payload instead of useful load which I usually talk about. This plane doesn't seem to specify it's max payload but we could guess. It has a landing weight of 7125, remove an hour of fuel left in the tank and a 170 pound pilot and we're about 3000 pounds max payload. That's if it has no further restrictions (which pc12 does). That's still pretty good. Though it flies at 140 knots only. And I think high wings are preferred for cargo handling and rough field landings. Does it come on floats? I don't think I've seen it on floats before.
