Swiss built quality that is ;-) We are very proud on that Pilatus Factory in our State in Luzern.

@Flinty94 uh, nice. Enjoy it. Its quite Something, with the airfield between the lakes and Mountains.

@Flinty94 If possible, also visit mt Pilatus witch ist closeby. And the factory Name is coming from😉

@Flinty94 niiice👍🏻

Glad to hear that. I work for its software :)

I agree. Pilatus make beautiful aircraft.

That's good)

Nice panel...&. Screen. &. Software Autopilot Nice Turboprop

Nice. Pilatus. PC 12

The livery of this particular one was especially beautiful in my opinion :)

@@tommypetraglia4688 it is sad that it happened but you can't just blame it on the plane, FAA has only certified the pc12 to fly 11 people ( 9 passengers and 2 pilot ) max, but they flew with 12 people and all their camping and hunting gears, they could have been easily pushing it's MTOW and overloaded it. They also picked the worst time to fly, during a winter snow storm in heavy icing condition which is not a best time for any one to fly especially a GA pilot in a heavy airplane.... NTSB Preliminary report: www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NR20191217.aspx AVweb's report on this: www.avweb.com/aviation-news/nine-dead-three-injured-in-sd-pc-12-crash/ a KZfaq video which goes into a bit more detail on this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/brloeJeoq7nRfmQ.html The report says the stall warning came on after just one second from take off and continued intermediately throughout till the crash and witnesses said they were trying for 3 hours to clear the ice from the air frame before the flight. We have to wait for the full report to make a conclusion but from what is known till now it doesn't seem like the airplane is at fault here and it seems to be mainly caused by human error.

@@superchargedpetrolhead it was also snowing that night and the PC-12 was parked outside so the accumulated snow/ice would have added more weight too. The pilot probably didn't know the maximum weight or perhaps was overconfident with such a reliable aircraft! The pilot and passengers were clearing the ice/snow for 3 hours but there were many places where they couldn't reach. www.flyingmag.com/story/news/nstb-pc-12-report-shows-stall/

@@tonyvu2011 Pc12 has so many safety features to handle any type of bad situations in flight but it can't protect itself against human stupidity and overconfidence

I would have said that that title went to the King Air for twin engine props and the single engine king of turboprops to the PC12 but hey, anyone can have its opinion

I thought C-130’s were king of the Turbo props.

Alot of people who are into turboprops call the pilatus the king of all turboprops. You are actually the first person who said it was the c130. I've never even seen a video like that.

@@tommypetraglia4688 true but there was icing on the wing at take off because you know it was snowing. And ice also brought down a 737. So yeah all that was a combination for a crash. King airs on the other hand roll over and die when an engine failure happens due to pilot error. So the fact that its safety record is better than a lot of turboprops does make it king in my and plenty of other people's opinions. Just to let you know the pilot didn't think like alot of other crashes. Same thing would happen to a king air.

That is the military version

Totally agree! Who is the man that creates this awesome, easy to understand yet very complete and detailed, airplane info clips?????

@@MrJaaplepoole At least he has started appearing in his videos a while ago. In the beginning there was just the voice. ;-)

@@Colaholiker I guess he prefers not to appear so much because he narrates in Russian & then translates to English...it would be weird to see his lips not in sync with his voice !

@@Timothy_Kim Could be. But in many countries people are used to that. I am German, and all the movies and TV series we get from other countries, mainly United States, are dubbed. You hear them speak German but they move their mouths to the English text they originally say. So I don't think it's much of a deal.

@@Timothy_Kim it is considered a bit unprofessional for vehicle fans in CIS to make videos about themselves. It usually ends up with a lot of people commenting how much of a fuck they dont give. Or worse - a political shitstorm.

until it bites you..

LabCorp flies out of KOSU. I see those flights regularly.

Amazing what a little competition from GE can do.

@@terryboyer1342 Pratt&Whitney Canada have been in the turboprop business with the PT6 and other designs long enough to know exactly what they are doing with their new designs and tech implementation. They also know they cannot afford to be seen as falling behind (rest assured, some of this tech must have been developed some time ago and was just waiting for the right time to make its appearance on the market). P&W C also know that they won't get an easy pass if something goes wrong with the new PT6 design, in the same way that GE may, since GE does not have the same history and pedigree in the turboprop business and some may be inclined to judge them more leniently than P&W C, if something doesn't perform quite according to the standard expected. Between the two, I'd rather have a PT6 than the new GE. A tried and tested aviation legend from a company that has dominated the sector for decades, I think the PT6 is a better choice, especially in a single engine plane.

@@cuttight If you're not already, P&W Canada should make you head of their marketing dept! What a spiel!

@@terryboyer1342 lol - that would be nice! I might actually afford one of these if I were. Nah, I don't have any vested interests in P&W C or anyone else. Just an aviation enthusiast with a (well) informed opinion.
