Dang, that steep of an approach reminds me of how the Space Shuttle landed! I've yet to jump out of a Porter, but always looking forward to it!

wondering how long you can hold the dive before reaching Vne?

Music 🤮

Políbit prdel

Is that an ashtray on the dashboard? That's how you know it's made in Europe.

Pilatus Porter, Power, Performance, Perfection.

Takes me back to '87. Nice to see the wrist mount alti hasn't changed.🙃

get rid of this music, bring back the real sound !

NICE! So dragey no over overspeed? Turbine does not care! LOVE the Pilatus Porter. That long nose. Not legal in USA? CAVU skies!

Not me screaming in my living room.

You have to lift the gate to engage beta at Fl140!Typicall to H4 Beta regulation! I think that you miss a lot the old H2 especially at 2200Rpm! 😂😂 Have a nice flights!

nice

Amazing how quickly they get down! While maybe not practiced, I feel like knowing how this is done would be good for all pilots for emergencies when you need to descend extremely quickly - such as cabin pressure loss or something on fire.

Cool how the control panel is like a desk

Now THAT'S my kind of approach! Still hundreds of feet in the air 1/10th mile out on final.....lol....OH yeah!! Sweet flyin' man! Straight from serious altitude droppage right to the flare. :-)

Why do they do this

Thanks for this video! I see you have the condition lever to low idle when landing. This is not POH as far as I know. Can you tell me why you do it like that?

I wonder how many skydivers there accidentally drifted into the ocean.

Amazing! I dream of operating a radio once in a trubo prop flight with beta range... .like the turbo porter or the twin otter.... I hope I get the chance once.

You should record more Porter videos. I just started flying the payware PC-6 Porter add-on in Flight Simulator and really enjoy it. Such a unique plane.

Now that’s a short final 😍

This is how I fly all planes in FS2020. Glad to know 1 can actually handle it!

So SO Awesome. I would love to try this.

Really great, wonderful skydiving video congratulations to all skydivers congratulations 👌👌👌

Not as cool if sped up

This is how you do it... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLp1lLd5sM-rhIU.html

有自动变速器之后，为什么不将汽车的驾驶方式变成街机控制杆式？

How are your ears still intact? 😭

an old one with the trim on the roof.

Your descent with the PC6 looks like more fun, than the jump with parachute 😂

So badass!

I am a student pilot still practicing with a Cessna 172 in Dallas, I really enjoyed your amazing video, good piloting skills and a good camera recording everything. I got a gopro camera but I am still wondering the way to install it on the cockpit, sometimes I am able to watch unbelievable details in each flight like traffic, birds flying really high and even drones. If I have the opportunity I just grab my phone to take a brief video of 10 or 15 seconds long and from that I can take a picture too. A few days ago I just had the experience practicing the slow flight maneuver an the wind was really strong with more than 40 knots so the instructor found the way to fly against the wind plus our slow flight with an average of 35 to 38 KIAS and suddenly the aircraft was not moving at all, just suspended in the middle of the air, then we discovered we were flying backwards, my instructor took the control to allow me to take a video. Wow, that was a very unique experience.

I love the porter When I was in the army the pilots we had were amazing and I watched one one day come in for a landing and we had 15 knots down the runway And he throttled it back at 10 feet and hovered then backed down the runway about 100 meters and then throttled back up and flew off Pre mobile phone days so no video evidence unfortunately as it is something I would like to see again 👍👍

Joli !

Whats the stall speed on that thing?

Butter! Even sped up still a smooth landing

I just came here for the song.

What is the tipical descent rate?

Can you really reverse the prop pitch in flight? Mike patey might be able to but is this actually a thing?

Ha, adjustable pitch is a wonderful thing! Cool vid, thanks for sharing👍

An owner of a Porter flew from NY down to Covington La for the winter. He checked out our Cessna 182 pilot to fly it for the DZ. Needless to say he was in seventh heaven as were we jumpers. This was the late 80's or early 90's. Best fun and laid back DZ I have ever jumped at.

This is, I believe, called sharking and of all the jump planes I know of it's only the PC6 Porter that does it. Nice plane, loved hanging from the strut before exit but often you'd be cramped in it like a bunch of sardines in a can (much more so than on other jump planes).

handles that pressure like a pro likes its nothing

I flew the PC6 as pilot. It's amazing

fatastic

Quelle est la configuration de descente ? Volet, pas de l'hélice, taux, vitesse...? Merci pour la vidéo

Very impressive! Perhaps now would be a good time to do a weight and balance adjustment toward the 'old' side of the pilot vs. the 'bold' side however? Way too many years ago at Ft. Bragg I had the good fortune to jump out of a few Porters that didn't have any tail numbers piloted by the kinds of government employe... errr, I mean completely private citizens who fly airplanes without tail numbers, but EVERY once in a while, the plane, although amazing, CAN break... Stay safe!

How do you make sure not to overspeed? I know the prop is a break but there got to br more to it than put it in beta and it'll to go 90° down like it's nothing without over speeding? What extra things do you do?

That’s just crazy. I wanted to ask you, what advice would you give someone who is fresh out of school, ATPL frozen? It’s hard nowadays to find anything. I have been looking also in skydiving companies and aerial works but I don’t have a clue. How did you start flying the PC-6?? And amazing approach, when I used to fly the small PA28 I loved to do gliding short approaches...
