Fly your PC-12 like a PRO | FULL SWS PC-12 Tutorial | Real Airline Pilot 

Flew the PC-12 for two years. The handling characteristics at low speeds don’t differ too much other than slow sluggish controls. Definitely no large yaw moments 😊

As a non pilot. I'm so glad to see this, I thought I was doing something seriously wrong when trying to stick land this aircraft. I wanted to love this aircraft and I'm sorely disappointed with it. It handles like a brick with wings.

As others have mentioned. I too wanted to love this aircraft. Simworks can say what they want, but this plane handles terribly in the sim. They want to say that you arent a good pilot if you have issues, which may be why some youtube channel creators are blatantly ignoring the issues, which are present even in this landing.

thats incorrect. we do 40 for all landings besides super gusty days and IAP.

How is that incorrect? Isn't operator specific? Several PC-12 cockpit landing videos out there with flaps 30. They can't all be wrong.@@hostettervideos

@@softreset82the pilot will choose what they’re comfortable with. 40 flaps will give the best landing performance, however I see many PC12 drivers using 15 or 30. They hardly have a good reason, although I speculate the slow approach speed and “mushy” controls scare them.

Yep, quite many do. Especially in the states. Here in Europe it’s a different thing mostly, but I actually know a guy who owns and flies one himself. He makes about 50-100 hours a year.

There's nothing wrong with the Carenado version, in some parts it's better, in some parts it's worse....

the carenado doesnt even have a flight model, the engine is a default turbo prop simulation from asobo so its very incorrect. so the basics of a flying aircraft are lacking.

Love the BS TBM850, honestly one of the best aircraft in the sim. I can’t fault it - thoroughly recommend

The sink rate annunciator goes on below 2500ft and when in > -1000 ft v/s. I don't know if it's the real behavior and if they will tweak it. You can disable it when it goes on by clicking on a button on the center panel (close to the EGPWS button)

Thanks! That should really be in the checklist haha Indeed you did! Hope I put it all together about right!

It falls under the ice protection. I can’t wait to do more!

@@hostettervideos That explains a lot about why I struggled to match the cruise figures with those of the tables haha. Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Fastest way is to screenshot both boards to keep them handy in your phone

Hi Olivier, they're from the real airplanes POH, not included in the simulation unfortunately. Did they not add similar tables to the manual by now?

I came here looking for this very thing. Doesn't work for me either!

@@PB-im9bd so weird! Let me know if you find out how to fix? (I’ll do the same too)

@@PB-im9bd found it! There was a recent update that moved the clickspot. It’s now the silver lever at the bottom rear of the seats (towards the back of the seat). Hope that helps 🎉

@@ArrRoh Thanks!!!

Thanks, I can finally get rid of this bird in the seat👍.

do you also trim when landing or just fly with the set electric trim?

The aircraft is broken currently, and no one wants to call them out on it because for some reason people love SimWorks Stuidos. Would be an awesome aircraft but yea the flight dynamics are screwed.

That's for the stick PUSHER system. It isn't actually popped (notice the lack of white on the breaker's shaft- you'd see it if it popped). It's of a different design than the other CBs and sticks out a bit more.

Would you think it's possible to do a video talking about how to transition from VFR to IFR in flight with ATC? It could be very relevant to those flying GAs

the reason for that is because everything we make is from scratch. all graphics and everything. everything will be functional, part of it was a late discovery of the very lacking system depth of MSFS default AP. so we decided to make our own. a majority of the systems work compared to carenados. so what you speak is very small compared to what the plane actually delivers

@@hostettervideos I really do enjoy the aircraft, it's flight model is spectacular, especially in terms of climb rate and how it reacts in a crosswind. I'm looking forward to any improvements you guys make especially since you've coded everything from scratch. I got so sick and tired of seeing great planes get released and the developers would fall back on the incredibly under-developed default G3X.

FL200=20,000ft

@@joelandjeanprosio6360 okay, so divide by 100.

Thank you!

the dim knob is a dual knob, upper and lower. gotta get the click spot right. youll know by a bigger and smaller arrow

@@hostettervideos thanks I was just rewatching the video, and was at the part where he shows you in the video how to do it, lol i must of blew past mine mind first time watching it was gonna delete me comment and saw your reply

None functional. Wx radar overlay, flight plan overlay, even simple map symbols are all none functional.

@@JockoFlocko … pretty bare aircraft considering what they were promoting to release back in June and July. Took months and months longer to finally release a plane that has bug issues, flight model issues (just watch videos here on YT of the plane pulling hard right, even on realworld pilots), systems that dont operate, obviously cut out all failures in the last minutes of the game. Yes, fidelity of the model is really good, and the sound set oa also good, beyond that the Black Square TBM 850 is miles ahead of this one. And those that had flight model concerns with the Kodiak, of which I agree with, will definitely have issues with this one.

I don't agree with your statement at all, naturally any first release will have bugs, but likewise I don't feel it's many of them. Lots of stuff is pilot induced with this plane due to mishandling. When I go over their discord and the problems customers describe the majority can be put down to mishandling. For instance many don't seem to have an eye on their rudder trim on landing, which in turn makes them break out on landing. Or likewise many climb much to quick and then end up exceeding maximum differential pressure because they don't keep an eye on their cabin rate of climb. Those things are not bugs though, they happen because the PC-12 needs quite some special attention from the pilot and people don't read manuals. Sure enough the manual could be imrpoved a bit, that was a suggestion of mine as well. And sure enough there are bugs that need sorting, like the oscillations with V/S mode. But I can't share your feelings that "it's really amazing how long the issue list is". It's no worse than other similar releases.

@@A330Driver … can appreciate your opinion and input. Hopefully we will see ongoing improvements either way. Im about 1/3 way through the manual, so will see what the remaining has to share. As of right now I prefer the TBM 850 from black square. Have both, but the TBM seemed much more refined upon release

comparatively this plane is a complete success with how realistic it is. and honestly when it comes to bugs theres only maybe a handful. which is pretty good id say given it was released a day after SU14. which broke some stuff naturally. and sometimes things are out of our control, asobo isnt the most dev friendly company. something they greatly need to work on. for people to say this was a failure or a bad aircraft is because they need to spend more time and actually learn how to fly the aircraft. since they wanna simulate our lives they need to put in the work. @@A330Driver

Check the manual, it’s in there

@@A330Driver Cheers! 😁

MSFS has been out for 3 years and still no weather radar function. Its a joke.

@@acmekanik9135 you can use the PMS50 GTN750 and it has weather radar. the g1000 in glass cockpits also has weather radar.

I wish I had more time for streams as well. But I just don't. Came back from a 6 day Africa trip two days ago, tomorrow flying to the Carribean for four days, then another two off followed by a full week in the Carribean. I'm glad I can find the time to create all those pre-recorded videos at the moment.

@@A330Driver yea absolutely, I think it is better that you do your thing irl than to stream and make RU-vid videos! Im not trying to be critical it is really nice seeing you doing your thing especially now with the 330 stuff!

@@droge192 Yes, but it comes with five cockpit mods

@@lalajohnanagnostis It's just the basic w/ the GNS looks like.

Thank you too!

Thank you! More coming soon!
