Good work Captain, it is very important this video as an instructional for us, we can see that you are a good profesional pilot, but for the next time we would like the next video wiill be subtitled in English because your english is very hard to understand, that is, most of your explanation I do not understand unfortunatelly. Not all viewer who watch your video can understand English, in my case I can read English but do not speak it very well. Good luck captain.
Yea Blue line to the numbers or even close to it has never been taught to me thank gawd. I love when I ready people commenting and they never put their qualifications. Like me. Im a solo student of only 200 hours in SEL & MEL piston powered aircraft. Also I’m currently more than 35hours / 3 plus years into a A&P Apprenticeship. It’s my feeling that thinking you know everything is a really dangerous mindset. I’ll bet it’s killed a lot of people . Try to be open minded. Always question yourself and let in information. Yes you may be the smartest guy in the room but if your also the coolest guy in the room…. chicks dig that !
I am only a Student pilot with a couple hundred hours in SEL & MEL airplanes . I’m also a 4 year apprentice A&P. I only have a question is it normal in the Starting Procedure for this pane to have full throttle? This isn’t a judgement call as you are obviously NOT A STUDENT only a question. I do this on hot starts or flooded situations. Im not too worried about someone getting surprised by full power because those are always amusing to me and the students wide open eyes and jammed on breaks is a good learning experience 😂 I know it was for me. 😂😂 Anyway also wanted to say thanks for this video it was a great demonstration of flow and check lists . I’m going to watch again I wish you were a CFI in my area . Thank you Michael KLZU
Thank you for this amazing video with the Proline 21. In my mind I enjoyed so much when remember my good times flying a Beech 1900 with that avionics. Happy Landings Captain !
Great video on the Proline. I’m sure many MEI’s disagree with slowing under blue line. If on an approach there is plenty of time to slow after DH or MDA. If VFR there is plenty of time to slow after landing is assured. The past few years have been rough for the King Air safety records and not respecting blue line is the common denominator.
I’ve been out of the King Air since 2018 and I hadn’t heard about crashes lately. I’ve had this discussion before though about blue line. Blue line is a climb speed, not a descent speed. I’ve noticed that schools are teaching to approach at blue line these days but I’m not sure where that came from. In King Air school we were taught to fly it like any big turbo prop, or a jet, and actually fly the proper approach speed. Either way, if you were to lose an engine on approach, and you felt that needed you to make a go around, which you shouldn’t, then you’d continue down and accelerate to blue line. After the king air I flew the 747, and now I’m on the MD-11. Both of these we do the same, when we lose that second engine on final, we accelerate to a climb speed and go around, if necessary, or we just land. Fly safe out there.
Thanks for the excellent Pro-Line 21 video! I have long felt the Proline 21 is the best "fit" for the KingAir; Better than Proline Fusion, better than Garmin. Heck the older EFIS CRT system was already pretty darn good, but the tubes are heavier and hard to find today, not to mention the better integration of the newer systems with today's GPS/ADS-B enabled environment. Proline 21 brings just the right level of automation to the King, where flying is still partially manual as you have to manage power in all phases of flight. Why did the fuel gauge indicator fall off when Engine 1 Start was engaged?
Great video! Got a little bit of right seat time in a C560U, and the FMS was the most difficult thing to learn in the airplane. This video helped refresh my memory on it. Without access to an FMS, do you have an FMS training resource you can recommend? I use Flight Sim a lot so if there is one for that it would be most helpful. Thanks!
The flight simulator programs like x-plane 11 and Microsoft Flight Simulator have airplanes that have FMSs that work pretty much identical to the real FMS whether it’s a proline 21 or Garmin. Also, King Schools online sells courses on Collins proline 21 stuff as well as Garmin.
Hello captain, my name is charles. I am from brazil and, I was invited to fly a King air B200. I found your video and, I decided to watching, to learning or, to make a little idea, How I will operating this kind of aircraft. I am so happy! Thanks
No such thing as ground/flight idle in a King air. Just Low and High idle, and its only function is really to increase the idle speed. High idle is usually only used to 1-pull in more air and 2-decerease the amount of time for engine to spool for say a short field landing to get reverse thrust quicker or 3-To start the second engine while on battery. All operations in a king air are normally with Low Idle, however I agree that they should both be in the same position, not one in either or. He could be doing this for a specific reason for this aircraft, maybe a cooling issue in the right engine.
@@JamesWhite-fo9wk thanks for your explanation. I have not yet any King Air experience, only Pilatus Aurcraft. But because of the different spool up times I asked the guy who made the video why he took off like that. I saw in the video he put it on high idle for the second engine start. But for such a video he should watch out for little details like this ;) Blue skies.
I’m sure he probably just forgot to put both condition levers back to low idle being busy talking making a video. There’s no good technical reason to have one engine on high idle and one on low idle.
"Know how to instruct" At the beginning and at the end you say you' re a big believer of check lists. Not a big deal, but at start up, after starting the right engine you did not turn off the fuel pump as suggested by the checklist. In what I kinda see as showmanship and slick knowledge of the aircraft, if you missed something as simple as the fuel pump, what else did you miss?
