Yeah it’s about impossible but ya gotta try!

You are so fortunate to get to fly. I lost my medical shortly after learning to fly at a young age because of the disease I came down with. Still on the meds many years later. My goal was to become either an airline pilot or work for a private company or a charter. What do you do for a living? You must own a company or a lawyer. Perhaps a doctor or an Indian chief lol.

Another great flight Grant and a lot of work to put all the screen together for more detail on take off and landing. Thanks for bringing us along.

Thanks for bringing us along.

Very enjoyable. I'll probably never fly something that sophisticated so really appreciate being able to vicariously experience it through your videos. Thank you! I especially enjoyed the split screen with 4 views on the approach. The view of the PFD was excellent, while also seeing the outside views. I understand the effort in creating these videos and want you to know how much that effort is appreciated.

Nice approach, well done! Glad to see the airport I learned how to fly on.

Beautiful approach. I am IR PPL but have not been in actual IMC that low presently. Love the videos and hope to someday fly at least right seat ballast in a PC12. :)

Thank you Grant for the stats. This flight had a bit of everything. Blue sky's, thunderstorms, rain and ice. Great flight. Grant how many passenger seats are you running? Thank you for your time you put into these videos. Looking forward to next video. 👍👍👍👍

Aside the difference in payload, how does it differ in performance with the TBM? Is this a popular business aircraft. I live close to a very busy bizjet airport (PTK). I see Pilatus aircraft on the approach often. Most often I see jets. I live across the street from the outer marker.

@GrantBaker

2 жыл бұрын

Range, especially with much of a load, is far better in the PC12. There’s a lot of trips where the speed advantage of the TBM is gone because it needs a fuel stop. The PC12 also outperforms the TBM on takeoff and landing distances.

Nice flight, do you always have to reload the airport code when you load an approach?

@GrantBaker

Yes, if you want to continue navigating to the airport. It doesn’t put it in “standby” like Garmin does.

@GrantBaker

Thanks William! I did mention it at 31:40 but yes it’s because of icing. You’re limited to F15 if there’s visible ice on the airplane. There’s nothing wrong with always landing F15 assuming there is enough runway but I generally use F30 unless there is ice on the airplane.
