Why do you tap the brakes before bringing up the gear...meaning, why do you want the wheels to not be spinning when they are retracted into the wheel wells? Beautiful airplane!
Ralph Freshour because it’s on the checklist. A fast spinning tire without a load on it expands. My guess is it’s so it fits into the wheel well during retraction. Probably sheds any ice build up as well when it comes to a sudden stop.
If you held a bicycle wheel in your hand from both sides and spun it, it would resist when you tried to turn it away from its perpendicular axis. If you retract the gear with the whel turning, you would put unnecessary strain on the landing gear as it tries tilt it against the forces spinning momentum along the turning axes.
It is also a precaution. It prevents „shooting“ small stones into the gear bay. It‘s the main reason on the 737. but there the gear is braked automatically.
Gyroscopes precess at 90 degrees to any force applied to their spinning mass. Both rapidly spinning wheels/tires are in line with the centerline of the aircraft, so far so good. Any external force applied will create and equal force at 90 degrees. Very troublesome and possibly destructive.
With my schedule I get to be home everynight, I dont know where else to find that kind of job. Seems like the only other option is airlines, but I dont want to do that.
Sometimes your lifestyle dictates your job choice, sometimes it's the other way. Whatever you are happiest with. Unless you want to make a couple hundred grand a year, and then there is only one path!
Very expensive way to get from point A to point B. My guess is north of $2.5 million. Expensive gets old fast. GA airports are full of Dream equipment that sits 90% of the time, so they aren't business tools which would seldom sit on the tarmac which is a losing proposition for the owner. Expensive aircraft (MILLIONS) need to have their wings flown off just to have them break even or make a little money. I pass a GA airport on my way to work every day for the last 14 years. There are two lines of modestly priced aircraft which have never left the ground in that 14 year period. Very few people can afford to buy an airplane, learn to fly it maintain it, fuel it, insure it and practice at least 3 hours a week year around.. I am. GA licensed A&E mechanic for over thirty years and this scenario repeats itself over and over. In my opinion this is at the core of the GA problem. Plus inexperienced people working on their own planes on the weekend hoping to squeeze in an hour of flight time if they can just figure out why the rudder sticks in its travels and makes a funny scrapping noise.
Love the pc 12, great skills as well.

@@ozmerter Someone paid attention in high school physics!

Love the pilaus and the way you fly, your plane?
i got scared then i relized u were on the ground
Is the yoke linked to the nose wheel or rudders? It appears to be moving with your rudder inputs.
Yes, it has a aileron/rudder interconnect.
Do you ever miss the fedex feeders ?
No, not really. There is better money and schedules out there right now for pilots.

is it taxing itself?
Not that I'm aware of.

lol pc12 is very profitable, i fly them in Australia
did you even land the plane
Taariq Bovell yes, I landed the airplane. Unfortunately the airplane doesn’t land itself. It’s pretty hard to have a bad landing in PC-12.
8:44 man. Come on.
Boring
