PILATUS - PC12 Takeoff - Cabin & Cockpit

[calltipv2]

Urgh I miss the days of real flying, going to a small airport, having a hamburger, taking friends along. Turning it into a career, being an airline pilot has destroyed my love for flying. It ain't the same :(

@calltipv2 buy a husky and go do some real flying :)

[calltipv2]

@xevnoc Hopefully some day. Bush flying in Alaska sounds fun to me.

[CounterCultureLives]

@calltipv2 This particular PC12 is equipped with the "Don't Worry!! Be Happy" option!!

[seatgurus]

I'd rather have 2 engines

[beatchildproductions]

hey sit down and buckle up young lady..

[Pipertomahawk]

what a beauty to fly

[CounterCultureLives]

Speaking as an experienced psychologist, I can tell you that one of the greatest selling points of this plane is the square wave sound which becomes considerably louder during take-off. Many PC12's are owner flown, and the sound emitted draws attention to the plane; it's akin to the owner / pilot symbolically "farting" down the runway.

I'm not really a psychologist; I just made that up!!

that cabin is amazing, looks like a jet. how much does one of these cost more or less...(Great video by the way 5*)

[GeneralGoopy]

[bgdf]

I knew that airport looked familiar! Hey how often do you guys fly into Ocala?

[ups463]

[cadetporras]

Is this a corporate flight or charter flight?

[Friskyfeline67]

Great flight crew and deck!!

[cadetporras]

Where were you departing from for Orlando?

[ateamchief]

Ocala Kocf.

[cadetporras]

Oh nice! We have 800 acres near there in Mayo, near Lake City.

[hedintheclouds62]

what i would give to even fly one of these for five minutes. i fantasize about just owning one by myself for my personal use. awesome

[Rippy0870]

My dream airplane, someday I hope to own one too. Pilatus makes the most beautiful and capable aircraft. Performance of the B200, with operating costs 25% less, and a useful load almost three times larger. Someday I'll fly one around the world...

[flattrackmile]

The useful load of the King Air B200 is listed at 3,945 lbs. Are you saying the PC-12 has a useful load of over 11,000 lbs? The highest useful load I've seen listed for the PC-12 is a little over 4,000lbs.

[ateamchief]

When you do that, call me !!! :-). That is something on my list of things I wanna do in a PC12. We do a lot of international in it, but never all the way around.

[jb42682]

@Rippy0870 Call me too i'm an A&P i'll cover the maintance.

[roadragecafe]

nice interior!

[brewfighter]

TurboP FTW. Nice avionics, way to stay alert. Great job guys...and gals. That looks fun as heck. I wish I could ride in that beauty.

[brewfighter]

Maybe because, I would not be worrying If I was taking off in this aircraft. No denying...its a pimp

[windogmassey1]

Great aircraft.

do you bring back the power to a climb setting after takeoff as with other props, and is overheating at full power/slow speeds an issue as with the baron 58s etc?

[ateamchief]

Thats correct. After takeoff we bring back power to 36.9 trq. Overheating on the PC12 was never an issue. Out off the mountains we often had high power settings and low speeds. The PT6-67 Series Turbine does a amazing job in pretty much all configurations. I used to fly the 58s in Florida. I can sing you a song about overheating :). cheers

[windogmassey1]

Great reply thanks for info

[v12kid]

weather radar looks like a missile on the tip :)

[ateamchief]

True that. I sometimes feel like dropping it ;)

[lakeseminole]

Great to see a young person in aviation at the wheel so to speak!

[tomsolomedia]

you don't know how it feels to go around the world in this one!

[kingboby12345]

this obviously wasnt a commercial flight, so what was it for

and who was the plane owned by
