Best aircraft ever! Shortest take-off and landing and climbs like a fart out of a bath. I've done many, many skydives out of them but can't say I have ever landed in one. Simply the best!👍

no not even close, the pc-6 operates in regions the pc-12 has no chance eg papua, alaska, any airstrips requiring the extreme stol of the pc-6 did you see the landing at :22 ? if your tried than in a pc-12 you would have killed everyone onboard and the camera crew!, the pc-12 can operate at ranges and altitudes way above the pc-6 due to pressurization , nothing about them is compariable, they are both absolutly fantastic aircraft, however for different jobs!

Hey Ray, ever do a walk around on a Porter? If you did, you wouldn't say that. It's an ultralight with a turbine engine. It has a non-survivable cockpit also. No room for the pilot, and lots of sharp, hard things to cut you open when you crash. Luckily, if you are flying right, you will crash at less than 40 knots.

@Jolinator 9 жыл бұрын

Lionel Mandrake hey lionel what do you propose as a better or safer option for that type of flying? also what planes in this kind of class, or even small aircraft have "survivable cockpits"? ,cheers

@jacknisen 8 жыл бұрын

Cessna Caravan with 900 horse Garret TPE331 would top my list. Can be flown in comfort for hours, and if you crash one, you have a good chance of walking away.

@Jolinator 8 жыл бұрын

Lionel Mandrake Doesn't have anywhere near the stol performance characteristics of the pc-6 or loading ability to carry drums etc even with 900hp also has a higher chance of fod damage on uncontrolled strips due to the exposed compressor and no inertial separator, hence no operators using that setup in such demanding conditions you often see the pc-6 in

@jacknisen 8 жыл бұрын

Loading ability? The 208 I used to fly had a lot more capacity than the PC6 I am flying now. As for the STOL thing, you are correct. But the extra 300 hp makes a big difference as compared to the original PT6 Caravan.

I wander why the company chose tail dragger instead of triciclic?

@christiansprojects-cgmanuf1426 5 жыл бұрын

Because taildraggers are more rugged and less dangerous to land on rough fields. On a taildragger, wou have the weight of the plane behind the main wheels which means that the main wheels absorb the energy of a hard landing and the plane won't tip over. With a tricicle landing gear, the weight is in front of the main wheels and the rather fragile nose wheel has to absorb more energy.

Theres onally spars opportunities an places you can operate to an from with a private jet! Private jets a best suited to long distance interstate an intercontinental travel rather than sheer flexibility an versatility! 😊😆😎⛅✈💨💨💨➖.

I just looked it up: it looks great! I used to operate BN2 Islanders in Papua New Guinea in the Nineties and the latter had 300 HP each side the same as this aircraft. Of course the Islander had slightly different characteristics for PNG flying though.
