We were only holding about 200 knots indicated. I guess it can come down at 12,000 fpm if you take it to the red line. If I had 5 million dollars to spend on a plane...this would be it!

@@quinnjim what's the maximum cruise speed of the PC-12?

HorseRacingFan100 Around 260 knots (300 mph).

@@quinnjim 260 knots seems a bit slow to me. I always thought the figure for the PC-12 was around 280 knots.

electronixTech thanks for the compliment!

Very nice.

Speed versus capacity and comfort. The TBM is a sports car the Pilatus is an SUV...

Carl Wiltse It’s a 2003 PC-12/45. This is a legacy upgraded to Garmin TXI system with dual Garmin 750’s. Problem with NG is that avionics are integrated and for the most part not upgradeable.

@@quinnjim He might be asking because of the 5-bladed propeller, usually coming with S/N 1570+, I work with these aircraft :) love them

Great idea with the 750

Safe tell that to the 9 people who died in crash today in South Dakota more money than brains flying in blizzard 50 mph winds and a foot and a half of snow I only feel sorry for children on flight to the adults good riddance to you

@@kentnauman9863 Every PC-12 fatality crash that I've read about has been attributed to pilot error. I feel that this crash will be no different. Now go back under your bridge and stay there, you stinking troll.

@@kentnauman9863 It's not the plane's fault that the pilot tried to take off with an iced up, overweight aircraft in terrible weather conditions. 100% pilot error.

I wear a noise cancelling headset. Yes, many older pilots who didn't take care of their hearing suffer hearing problems.

@@quinnjim Thank you, I did wonder... My wife, a teacher, has hearing loss. After 30 years in various classrooms, the noise of the children has caused damage to her hearing. She has to wear hearing aids to work these days. She is only 55. Apparently, the otologist told her this is an occupational hazard for teachers - noisy children.

He also has two Garmin GTN 750's (GPS units) in the center stack. They are touch screen GPS units. I call them the 'poor mans' G3000! I fly in the SIC seat in a Citation II full flight simulator for Flight Safety and our Citation II has a GTN 750 and a GTN 650 installed. They are now required learning as part of the initial and recurrent training courses we teach (mandated by the FAA). So this PC-12 has a lot of glass in the panel for sure.

This is not my plane. My buddy said they really like the avionics setup, but I don’t have any specifics. Sorry.

That was DPA.

@@quinnjimCan I bother you with a most likely stupid query, but is there any way you might know how an aviation buff can bribe his way into a short take-off and in-the-pattern fly around in a dream GA aircraft like the Pilatus, TBM or Malibu/Meridian, etc. locally? How does one find opportunities like that at Chicago Exec or DPA? I'd pay an airline equiv. ticket gratuity. Thanks

I really don’t have a good answer for that. I rode along with a buddy. I am an airline guy, so I don’t have many connections in the corporate world.

rickyretic The propeller is not connected to the engine. You can theoretically hold the prop as the engine starts up. Some turbo props have "brakes" on the prop so you can run the engine without the danger of the propeller moving on the ground. You want the prop to feather if shut down in case of engine failure in flight. There is a LOT less drag that way.

You see this with free turbine Pratt PT6As; Garrett/Honeywell TPE331 engines are geared turboprops and start in flat pitch.

Taken from John Deakin's "Pelican's Perch" column on AVweb (currently unavailable due to a site redesign): The constant-speed props used on most single-engine general aviation aircraft use a very powerful internal spring to drive the blades to flat pitch, with governor oil pressure used to oppose that force. In either case, a governor failure causes the prop simply to go to full low (flat) pitch, whereupon it becomes just another fixed-pitch prop (of the "power" type). By contrast, the full-feathering props used on most general aviation twins work differently -- almost the exact opposite, in fact. The hub of such a prop contains a very powerful spring (called the "feathering spring") that drives the prop towards "high pitch" ("low RPM" or "coarse pitch"), while governor oil pressure (and pitching moments) oppose this. This means that a governor failure -- or loss of oil pressure -- in a light twin will drive the prop towards low RPM (high pitch), and right on into feather, which is nothing more than extremely high pitch. The theory is that with a loss of oil pressure due to engine or governor failure, you'll want the prop feathered in order to keep flying on the other engine. Why don't these full-feathering props drop into feather at shutdown, when the oil pressure goes away? Well, in fact, the ones used with free-turbine engines like the Pratt & Whitney PT6 do exactly that -- take a look at a King Air or Caravan parked on the ramp and you'll see this clearly. But having the prop on a piston engine go into feather at shutdown would be very tough on the engine at the next startup. There would be so much air resistance with the blades feathered that it would be difficult to keep the engine running until enough oil pressure built up to bring the prop back out of feather. It would probably be hard on the engine, too, for it would have to develop considerably more power while still cold, before there is sufficient lubrication for the bearings. This would cause a lot more metal-to-metal contact before the oil starts circulating. Consequently, the full-feathering props used on piston twins and certain turboprops are designed with a system of centrifugal latches and pins that lock the blades in a medium-pitch position when the RPM drops below 600 or so, preventing them from going into feather at shutdown. In the event of an in-flight loss of oil pressure, however, windmilling action keeps the prop RPM high enough that the centrifugal latches don't come into play and the prop fails in the feathered position. Pretty clever. Take a walk on any general aviation ramp, and look at the constant speed props. You will generally see the singles sitting at rest with a very flat pitch (usually around 15 degrees), the piston twins with a very coarse pitch (usually around 30 degrees), and most of the turboprops in full feather.

Me to going for PPL next year in canada. Yes Da42 looks cool and i would like to try one. there's something else too with good design but some bad accidents recorded (Might be human error) ICON A5 sport aircraft.

Jesus Perez have you ever considered the DA42 twinstar? I’m not sure about the pricing but it’s a good 4 seater and if your a starting pilot then it might be better for you. Just a suggestion anyways. Good luck!

Pip gator just out of interest how much is your PPL costing you? All the prices I look at are very similar but I’ve heard from a few people that it’s cheaper on that side of the pond?

@@pilatuspc-1226 Hi , yea the PPL is going to cost me around 11k CAD here. And that's for the bare min hours required. Wondering what it takes to get that right seat on a Beech 1900 after getting my CPL with Multi IFR. Any suggestions ?

Pip gator what company are you thinking of flying with? If you’ve got your MEP rating your IR rating and your CPL aswell as your IFR and night rating I’d say you would be good to go on that co-pilot seat. It’s quite funny because my goal is to try and fly 787 Dreamliners for air canada. Also the more hours of time in any aircraft the better, I know it seems obvious but companies these days have less time for inexperienced pilots so being able to show you have good hours will prove helpful even if it’s in something as simple as a 172. Hope that helps I guess?

It was over $100,000. Hard to say exactly since a LOT was done. This is not my plane. I just rode along with my buddy for fun. It’s a really neat plane with amazing capabilities.

Johann-Markus Wolff Why did he put gear down at flight level 190 ?

Это ПК-12/45 2003 года. Это устаревшая система, обновленная до системы Garmin TXI с двумя устройствами Garmin 750. Я не уверен в остальном.

@@quinnjim Спасибо:). С остальным я со временем определюсь...

You need to take flying lessons. Getting a Private Pilot license will cost you about $10,000-$12,000. You can do it a lot cheaper if you buy a cheap plane and pay an instructor cash. It's a difficult process, but nothing you can't handle if you dedicate yourself to it. This particular plane costs about $5,000,000 dollars. I don't own it. If you need a plane like this, you need to be very wealthy first!

I'm not going to wish a terminal illness on you. Hopefully you will get to fly one of these in good health! They really are cool planes. If I had the money, it would be towards the top of the list for airplanes to own. Really great how it can get in to short fields and carry a load.

nonu World New ones are $5,000,000 U.S.

Special discount for you😘😋😄😁

Maybe next time. I wasn't really planning on making a video for KZfaq...just messing around with my phone.

That is the procedure for emergency descent. It works pretty well!

Yeah I though t that may be the case but I personally have never seen it done before and found it very interesting, i did notice the speed , I think was around 180-200 which is high for the gear to go down but I suppose that’s ok due to the pressure at altitude

Cameron Little That’s the procedure for an emergency descent. That is what we were practicing.

Gotcha, and you are correct. I just didn't know what you were doing and while 8 was watching I was like WTF.

Jerk of Hearts Yes

Closer to 19,000....And Still Cant Figure Out Why...To High And To Fast....Or Is It Just Me ???

kole 505 He said in a reply to another guy it was the procedure for an emergency descent.

This is not my airplane. I have a friend who flies it for a company. I'm just a regular old airline captain who was riding along. Sorry I don't have specific answers about the plane.

I can't afford to put air in the tires of that thing!

@@quinnjim perhaps a nice skylane or a 172 XP

@@mikecoffee100 The 150 is good for the kids. Looking for a Citabria with a couple buddies. I have a nice Cirrus that I'm flying now in exchange for flight instruction.

@@quinnjim Awesome

zukaitisfamily We were demonstrating an emergency descent. That is the procedure.

quinnjim oh. Ok. Makes since love your videos I’m in training for ppl up to CPL can’t wait to get where u are in experience

zukaitisfamily Good deal! It’s not always easy, but you can do it. I’ve never regretted picking aviation as a career (even during the hard times).

quinnjim your right. It’s is depressing at times trying to understand all this stuff stressful. I find flight school ground school is awful it’s basically up to me to know the knowledge Studying for my ppl written I’m at a part 141 school in Boise I have 90 hrs started at 16 yrs old got about 65 hrs then then life happened now I’m 35 so finishing my part 61 ppl then going into the ifr/CPL program just got approved $23k that will be my debt unless I go cfi seems reasonable compared to people around the nation with 60-150k in dent really hoping I can find a SIC job in a pc12 or anything to get experience vs cfi Will be low time pilot so not sure not really into teaching.

Maloy7800 You need to understand how to read the temperature display. The “x 100” is for the single digit numbers around the edge that the needle points to. The digital number is the actual temperature.

@@quinnjim Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation.

That did not translate well. Sorry.

Just a demonstration.

99% of statistics are made up on the spot.

I had no intension of filming. I left all my GoPros and microphone hookups at home. It ended up being a neat experience, so I did the best I could with the phone.

It has a lavatory.

That panel just had over $100,000 in upgrades. Modern panels are simpler. I think maybe you don't know what your looking at.

He had it installed at Fry's Electronics.

Tropicthudr must be knee-deep in his Ganga...

Statistically speaking, turbine singles are safer than light twin piston aircraft. Lots of people crash when they lose one of their two engines. Personally, I prefer twin engine (like you).

Why can’t you spell?😀
