how many flight hours did you have before they let you fly that thing?

[pittspilot28]

well it looked like I hadn't flown ever but I've got plenty of time.

That camera angle makes me lean a little! Haha

I researched both. I prefer the PC-12 because of the FAR better useful load. Yes, the TBM is fast, but what good is that if you can't bring the wife, or friends, or luggage, or kids (when i have kids), or, you know, fuel? Too much has to be sacrificed as far as what you can haul on longer trips. I can fly the PC-12 with the woman cross country and bring back my parents and siblings from the East Coast - all with only one stop each way and no worries about luggage and fuel.

Shiny Side Up = Good Landing

@pittspilot28 do you only have a PPL?

My instructor just got a job flying the PC-12 for Sea Port Airlines.

@swidd2 your landing wasn't terrible. but certainly not good. are you the owner?

It was a great video! Amazing plane.

Centerline deviation happens :P no biggie

[nikthepilot]

damn.. it looks like the whole plane is tilted haha :D

yes, a landing you can walk away from is a good landing. That is like saying any food you dont die from is good food. but how does it taste? how did the landing feel?

@gipper913 Not to mention that you can land a PC-12 damn near anywhere you can land a Cessna! There are numerous PC-12's at the airport where I instruct, and it's pretty incredible to see them make the first turnoff while Cirrus's and the like use the whole runway.

You walked away and no damage to the a/c = good landing LOL

@gipper913 I have a simple solution for that problem of yours>>>>> LEAVE THE WIFE AND KIDS HOME HAHAHAHA
