Great! Thanks much. It is sad that Pilatus Porter has been discontinued . Great aircraft indeed!

That's super impressive, never knew the PC6 had such capabilities..

@audaxxx4202 3 года назад

I was skydiving a few years ago in Chambery, France and the pilot always managed to land before us after we'd jumped out. Never seen it since and now I know why, he was flying one of these.

@oldsurfknotts Год назад

Enjoy the commentary, especially that about beta

@Tiltrotor86 4 года назад

Very cool, thank you for time and effort ! I would add that certain riggings requires to momentarily lift off the PCL into reverse to correctly enter in flight Bêta range, as not a Pil' is the same as another and some are rigged so mildly they would never enter it below 60 IAS. Some skydive PC-6s I flew were so aggressively rigged on the PCL cam and Beta valve that they entered Bêta as fast as 110 IAS in cruise and you litterally were stopped in mid air. The lifting detent is just a mark on the full PCL range after all, you can also manipulate PCL forward of the detent with the lever pulled up, and badly rigged you could even have reverse without going into that " visual " reverse range of the quadrant. I'm sure you know all of it already as a Pilot and Mechanic, it was more to add more details for other readers about the particularities of the PC-6 Bêta. Safe flights !

@LiberTY7416 4 года назад

Indeed. I made it a habit to test the point the prop goes into beta whenever I first fly a particular PC-6 or after maintenance. At altitude or early in the approach to avoid surprises near touchdown. Every operator or maintenance company seems to have a different take on the rigging. I prefer it to enter beta at beginning of the white arc (85-95kts) with the PCL at the stop. For skydiving we by the way almost never use beta descents. Our default is PCL idle, Np 1700RPM and 130kts. Is a bit nicer for the neighbors and less vibration on the airframe. Honestly do not think it is significantly slower.

@roryhollins4675 3 года назад

Hi from South Africa, probably the best Beta decent video I have ever seen, Pilatus could use this as their training video, you Sir are a master and an excellent Pilot, it is rare to experience an Pilot as accomplished as you are yet still maintaining the basics and being as professional as you. Keep up the good flying, I have subscribed and will be a loyal follower as well as get some of that merchandise ordered from you. Cheers & keep it real, Rory

Great description and demonstration here! Former E model USAF Herk driver here who's very impressed with the Porter's capabilities. PS: Thought you'd be interested to know that there are two Porter models (a default version and a payware version) available in the new MSFS2020, and some of those "simmers" are using your video as a tutorial for it.

@LiberTY7416 4 года назад

As said before: Good work. I have taken the Porter to some of the European altiports like Courchevel, but this is another level. Also really like your organizations safety culture! Your charts are top notch, way better than what exists for most altiports here. I noticed that you guys have your ignition on for landing, which is not something I see mentioned in my AFM. But in this rather unforgiving terrain I can totally understand why you would want that added layer of safety. One question there: do you notice any increased wear on the ignitors by doing this?

these are very good videos your producing. Beta works great in the standard Van. 90 kts 20 flaps 30 degrees pitch and spiral down threw a small whole in the cloud. it was part of my mountain flying training in the 206 (flight idle) back in NZ. my 1st step is always to Bug the escape.

@markslandingsandaviationvi3123 4 года назад

Can i see the cockpits of these planes at this airport? Can i see the cockpits in flight as a passenger? I really love aviation and i tried to fly three different planes like the Piper PA28 Arrow in Denmark, Aeroprakt A32 (Newest version) also in Denmark my home country and a Cessna 206 Stationair in Alaska. It was amazing! Now I’m 15 and I still love aviation. I flew when i was 13 and up to now 15:)

@kentwilliams4152 3 года назад

@ohanailo7743 2 года назад

I wonder if the German Lufftwaffa, “Stuka Dive Bomber,” had the same Beta feature? It almost seemed as I was watching your decent through the clouds it had a dive bomber feel to your decent. Nice landing.

And also what's the code for the strip at the end please e

@alesserfate 2 года назад

Nice video, what was the point of the initial steep beta descent from 10k down? It didn't look like there was any serious terrain and 4k fpm on the vsi could hurt passengers who are not used to that kind of descent rate. I can understand it on an approach with an obstacle but don't see why you would descend so steeply while you could have easily done a cruise descent in the present situation.

@colins2 2 года назад

It was a demonstration! The captions stated that they don't do it with passengers.

@xviii4eva 2 года назад

this is a bit tame, we used to descend the porter vertically using reverse. you need to go past the gate to get it into beta

@ZehrAir 2 года назад

Reverse, coming over the gate in flight is not approved. Beta starts at idle, in the porter its flat pitch at the stop / gate. I have seen people use reverse in flight and read plenty of accident reports that makes "tame" just fine with me.
