It’s so awesome being able to see inside the cockpit of a king air. I see two of them parked at my Home airport Doylestown KDYL. I’ve always wondered what it looks like inside copy. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Fly well, brother
We’ve worked on that airplane at Yingling Aviation before. The tail number kept sounding really familiar to me, didn’t realize what it was until I looked up a picture. Seems to be in Iceland now
@PJ D It went well! I got a 93%. I used sheppard air's IFR study strategy and questions which really helped prepare me. Now I'm just working on my 40 instrument hour requirement.
Hi Dennis, thank you for King Air videos :). I just hit the subscribe button :). I am pilot too, but only a smaller airplanes, but I always love twin turboprops. I have a question, why you put mixture to ground idle so quickly? I thought it is necessary to wait for about 20% turbine revs. Have it somethin to do with for example older/ different type of engines? Thank you for answer.
Hi! Thank you for your comment, it is only necessary to wait until 12% N1 speed before adding fuel. Waiting until 20% wouldn't hurt anything either though.
If you wait to stabilize the N1 on the battery for the first start you will achieve a few extra things: 1) You can gauge the strength of the battery in regards to cranking capability for the starter generators. 2) If its a quick turn, you can motor the starter (obviously respecting AFM limitations of 40 seconds) to cool the engine prior to introducing fuel for a cooler start. 3) Just achieving more airflow through the engine will ensure a better start overall.
At $1.5 million plus $1000 per hour, is it really worth it? There are too many homeless people to have a hobby like this. I suggest you sell your Kingair and everything else you own and give it to the poor.
