This is the video that convinced me we can build on a 425m airstrip in Alaska. We ordered a PC12NGX in March 2021 and take delivery this month (Sept '21), and we are breaking ground on our airpark/hangar home next month. Thanks for the content and I hope you continue to fly your PC12 and video your efforts!
the short field performance of this aircraft is incredible. seeing the ultralights at the aide of the airport give away that this isn't a place where PC12 are usually landing. and as always an amazing video
What a fantastic video. Love the landing and take off performance at Jesolo. Been around a few PC12's. Pilot skill here is truly impressive!! Love the Locher home base ; would be awesome to experience a flight in and out of there!!!
Thank you so much for this wonderful immersive vid. What a mighty plane and clearly in very capable and confident hands flying in both spectacular and challenging locations. Makes me want to spend some $$$ and become current again. Cheers and thanks from Sydney, Oz - Dave
The extraordinary capabilities of the PC-12 paired with an exceptional pilot, demonstrating unique capabilities! This should be in the Pilatus Gallery! Not insignificantly, your (Herr Lochar's) home "airfield" is sloped in both dimensions and grass!
Impressive plane, impressive approach and RWY @ Locher! Extra effort of taking off and landing just for the camera at Jesolo. But again... the most interesting few seconds before touchdown @ Locher are not shown.... why?
Noticed that you have a checklist posted in the cockpit. Would it be possible to get a copy of it? I would like to use it for my PC-12 in the X-Plane simulator.
Wow, this is areal STOL operation!!! By the way, i would like to get a copy of the checklist too, to use in FSX, if possible! Thank you and keep flying!
Is this your own personal airstrip? and the big building is it your business? Great video showing the capabilities of the PC-12 and the pilot of course.
Impressive aircraft, and well flown, but these are 2 different landings aren't they? First aircraft (in-cockpit) vacates at the last exit, second (from outside) vacates at the second-last exit. Still a very impressive aircraft and nice video, especially liked the instruments being available.
Honestly i thought you guys were flying sideways at 4:25 it took me longer than it should've to realize the shadowed area was not the sky... lol i really was impressed though
Cyril Aubry, take another look and pause the video at 1:26. The cabin pressure gauge has two separate functions. The cabin pressure altitude is indicated by the long skinny needle on the outer scale and it reads approximately 3000ft. The shorter needle indicates pressure differential on the inner scale which is 4.8psi.
The planes uses its variable pitch propellers as an aerodynamic brake. It works like a thrust reverser on a jet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-pitch_propeller
