FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

Hi. Another great video. I love how you are so interested in always learning new aspects of aviation-planes, Pilots,destinations... as a student pilot I really appreciate you enthusiasm. I always learn many new things watching. Thanks for posting.

PC-12 ...Chosen by the Royal Australian Flying Doctor Service as the best single engine turbine sub ten seater on the market regardless of price. An awesome, fast, rugged, safe aircraft. Its so stable you can trim it and with the auto pilot turned off you can move around the cockpit and it sits still like a concrete cricket pitch.

Great video, thanks for sharing. I'm currently looking at a gig flying Pilatus so I appreciate y'all running checklists out loud while pointing out the relevant stuff in the cockpit. I also like how you demonstrate the connections between the laptop and the aircraft software, I learned to fly in the '80s so that digital stuff is still kinda sci-fi.

I used to work for an FBO at KBDR and we used to have PlaneSense's PC-12s come in all the time. They are the largest operator of the type in the world. I always loved watching them come in and land super slow, that and their paint job was a very awesome blue and white, and their pilots were all pretty friendly and treated myself and my line crew as people and not just line guys to be bossed around like some of the other companies pilots would.

Steve, that's awesome. I did most of my initial pilot training at Sportys. They've got quite the program going there. On a good flying day it was not uncommon for their to be 5 or 6 planes all circling around in the pattern. The radio calls were interesting, although my favorite was one day were at the end of 04 waiting for another plane to clear the runway. He calls "Clemont County Traffic Advisory, there is a cat on the runway." and without hesitation another pilot gets on the radio and says "Meow!". LOL.

Love the PC-12 of all the single engine turbos. As you stated, the TBM-850 by Socata is the race horse of single engine turbos but as far as passenger comfort ,range ,fuel burn and ease of flying, I would love to have a PC-12!

Interesting and enjoyable flight. But, if you permit a suggestion from and old aviator that learned from even older ones: a good measure to maintain cockpit organization is write down METARs and ATIS at HORIZONTAL, and take note of clearances at VERTICAL. It may sound foolish but provides an enormous support to the cockpit crew in terms of standardization (everybody can read somebody else's notes) and organization. Moreover, piece of paper and a pencil can be anachronistic and old-fashioned, but they are efficient and infallible, especially when the good old electrical energy of the batteries runs out... simply can´t rely on a tablet or a smartphone for simple (and vital) tasks as take notes without redundancy. My two cents...

@@FlightChops I just want to thank you for this video. None of the other videos I have seen show anyone using checklists (SteveoKinevo, Guthmiller et al.). Every instructor I've ever had did not consider checklists an option. And radio calls were perfect. Clear, no jargon - excellent. I watch these kinds of videos to practice radio communications which is my weak spot. So great to hear pilots say, for example, "squawking ident" instead of "here comes your flash". Thanks again.

I was watching out for UFO's on lake Erie......a predetermined en-route hazard?! LOL! Thanks for posting this video - keep up the good work!

There's a PC-12 that goes right over my house a few times a week. I've been watching it for years. They have a distinctive look from below - a wide, dead-straight wingspan with no sweep aft whatsoever, and narrow wings. As a non-aviator (at the moment), that, and the TBM-850 are my favorites. If I ever hit the lottery, I'd be on the path to getting my license tomorrow, and I'd have one of those planes in my fleet ... in addition to a Premier 1. 😁 Ahh, it's nice to dream! Great video, as usual! Thanks for bringing us along on your epic adventures! It's fun not knowing where you're going to end up next, AND what you'll be flying in. Plus, I ALWAYS learn something in each video! 😎

@realulli 6 жыл бұрын

Smitty Smithsonite I have about the same set of dreams, but I'm thinking if I'd switch the Premier for a Phenom 300... I'm also a bit bugged by the PC-12 and the TBM being singles, which isn't optimal if I want to fly a lot around the Mediterranean (I live in Germany) which has lots of flying over water...
