@jonny2387 Reverse pitch on the prop. It acts like a brake, effectively trying to push the airplane backwards.

I met with Pilatus a while back and discussed this type of descent. It's within operating limits of airframe, prop and engine. If done properly, there's no stress on the machine at all. Most jump operations that operate Porters do this type of descent after emptying the plane. After dropping everyone at 12,500, it's not unusual to see the plane back on the ground before the last jumper. Since it's a turbine, there's no need to worry about shock cooling the engine.

I often wondered how dive bomber pilots in WW II could do this and their ear drums not explode.

@daniloivensmina You should probably know what you're talking about before you type next time. Its called an emergency descent, is within the means of the aircraft, and should be practiced for all pressurized aircraft. It the event of a pressurization loss, you need to be down below 10k feet, much faster than this pilot even shows

@daniloivensmina Yes they are ;)

@daniloivensmina They are toys
This comment has received too many negative votes show
That`s idiotic and it`s a great way to die, IMO. Planes aren`t toys, you know.

@daniloivensmina THIS WAS MADE INSIDE THE LIMITS OF THE PORTER IN TERMS OF SPEED AND ACCELERATION WITH GREAT MARGINS.
