Appreciate the feedback. Would you like to see more explanation type content during non critical phases of flight ?

Thank you Michael!

I never did it in the aircraft, but flew the 1900D full motion Sim single pilot. It adds a bit more work, but it's manageable. Respect for the weather!

We didn't have autopilot though, we had to hand fly it.

Glad you like them!

Thank you! More on the way.

I love Rockford😂

Rain-X ?

live in bishop,ca--know what your talking about--the instruments today make it so easy....

@@dethray1000 OKay.... If you live/fly out of Bishop, I need say no more. It doesn't take more than one trip across the Owens Valley to learn what the words - Turbulence, wind shear and mountain wave action - truly mean! What I would catch on V-105, originated at your house. At the end of that flight, I'm turning base over Sparks on a visual to 16Right, when tower radios: "Casino six-twenty-five, had a Falcon Fanjet land forty-five minutes ago and report Seventy knot windshears on final!" Came out of it 100 feet AGL and made the best landing of my life! Out of curiosity, did you ever meet a guy named Tom Brucks? He's got thousands of hours in King Airs.... Known Tom since we were controllers together in Vietnam in the 60s.

Lucky the wings didn't fall off.

I recorded one tonight. Stay tuned!

Heck yeah man! I’ll make sure you’re the first person to receive some free stuff if I ever get a sponsor lol. Appreciate the support truly. Hope you enjoy what’s to come.

Think of it as a reference temperature the manufacturer uses to help the pilot identify engine limitations and operations, similar to an EGT or CHT gauge you may see in a piston aircraft. ITT stands for "Interstage Turbine Temperature", as in between the first and second stages of the engine. To break it down more, stages refer to the "compressor stage", and the "turbine stage". Here's a nice basic outline of common turboprop definitions you may find helpful...airplaneacademy.com/torque-itt-np-and-ng-explained-on-turboprop-engines/

@@KingAirGuyTV I here SteveO say it all time while in start up mode with the TBM850.

@@KingAirGuyTV thank you

@@AuditRecon Yeah, we have a temp that we're watching out for. If we see it begin to rise above what's expected, we'll immediately terminate the fuel. Luckily the actual start limit is MUCH higher than the normal operating limit. I've personally never seen it even reach the operating limit of 805 degrees. I'm not sure which pt6 is in the TBM but I reckon his limits are pretty similar.

I like to alternate engine starts.

The hours will depend on your insurance company and the type of King Air you fly. The insurance company will want you to attend a school for initial training like Flight Safety or SimCom, among others. Depending on your multi-engine/turbine experience, the insurance company may want you to have an experienced King Air pilot riding with you for X number of hours before they will give you the green light to fly single pilot pic. I realize this is 7 months late but I hope it helps! Blue skies!

hey im in Knoxville, lol, just starting my aviation journey though.

A high compliment! Thank you.

That’s called “beta” or “ground fine”. Basically it flattens the propeller pitch, creating a decrease in thrust (smaller bite of air) and an increased amount of drag. The sound you’re hearing is a result of the increased rpm, as the props spin with little resistance. It’s very useful for taxing to reduce braking as well as during landing to add significant aerodynamic braking. There’s a much more complex answer to your question but I think that should give you the gist of it.

Yes I do

@@KingAirGuyTV sweet! My dad flies the same plane with the 135-A engines!

You are correct. In hindsight, I probably should have reported it as moderate. That being said. Severe turbulence is defined as; Severe turbulence causes large and abrupt changes in altitude and/or attitude and, usually, large variations in indicated airspeed. I had a pretty dramatic change in airspeed that almost resulted in an over speed condition. You can somewhat see this on the right side indicator. That being said, looking back, perhaps moderate would have been more appropriate. I don’t often fly with my bag next to me and I’ll be sure to keep an eye on loose articles in the future. I appreciate your critique. Always learning!

It’s not unsafe but the autopilot tends to overreact and make the ride even worse for the passengers.

It is. Maybe they’ll sponsor me if I get a bigger iPad.

Haha. “Wow, I must suck being you”

LOL I thought the same thing

I don’t actually believe that to be true. Most pilots are giving reports in MSL, and then ATC will translate it from there if needed. It makes sense if you think about it. If you’re flying an approach, wouldn’t you just want the actual flown altitude that the last pilot broke out at? For further guidance on “Reporting of Cloud heights to ATC”, see AIM 7-1-14.

ForeFlight on an IPad mini.

Probably a c90

Looks like a 350i, or 360.

This is an ‘04 C90B with the Blackhawk 135A engines.

Lesson learned!
