I build/organize the build of the starter/generator unit that gets paired up with the williams engine on that airplane. Just saw my work on youtube for the first time! Its amazing to see the engine bay get opened, and there is your product.
@@Newberntrains The flaps help it on non-pavement surfaces by acting like mudflaps in addition to their aerodynamic functions. The flaps deflect FOD kicked up by the main gear that otherwise could end up in the engine. The nose gear has a special FOD deflector unit that must be installed for non-paved runway usage, and the nose wheel tire also has chines molded in that help deflect water and small FOD. Those composite flaps can probably handle decades of gravel slinging into them with little more than a fresh coat of paint once in a while, and rest assured that the Royal Flying Doctors Service will test this for Pilatus just as they've done tens of thousands of landings and hours in PC-12's in the Australian backcountry with the engines and airframe inundated by abrasive iron-oxide rich red clay that turns to cement when it gets wet. The RFDS has had a few years to put the PC-24 through its paces and we've seen that they work very well on unimproved runways in adverse conditions. The planes take little maintenance other than that which is regularly scheduled, and the dispatch rate is as impressively high as the PC-12.
Wow! I happened to have watched all other videos about this plane, but watching this last. The actual pick up day. It’s insanely beautiful ! And it’s only 9 millions. I’ve never watched anything like picking up a new plane lol! Amazing!
This is one beautifully built aircraft and the build quality is very evident down to the last detail,Pilatus have set the standards high and just look at that acceptance showroom that the PC-24 is sitting in its so clinical like an operating theatre ! the RFDS of Australia made a good decision to purchase these for their fleet and after seeing the gravel take offs and landings you can understand why,never seen flaps like those before with the excellent contour changing design. The aircraft deserves all the attention it can get and I see a great future ahead for it.
That is one beau-ti-ful airplane and you showed it to us from just about every angle possible. You must truly love airplanes and flying them. Thank you for sharing it.
Wow, this is a fascinating video, never seen an aircraft with all it's covers opened and a close examination of the fuselage, wings, engines and cabin.
Yeah, right - so satisfying to see them extend and retract. If they'd also had leading edge slats with both sealed and slotted positions installed, this would be airplane porn. Even the spoiler panels are massive in relation to the wing chord. Cherry on top would be oldfashioned bucket thrust reversers. Then she'd be able to t/o and land in my backyard… at 65Kts and 100yards stopway :-)
wow. she is Beautiful. Good luck with the new work horse. I really do not like to use that term, but I am sure she is going to rack up the mile really fast. Thank you for the view into your work world. And Mary Christmas to your Family.
The 1st magazine article I ever read about the original design and build of this aircraft had listed a performance in its category. If im not mistaken, it held the highest spot but ide have to check. A jet like this is going to easily fly for decades and decades and decades.
It should make you happy to know next time you're on an airline flight that there is graffiti in side all the compartments of the plane you're in and the fueling valves probably failed and had to be opened with a screwdriver by the underpaid line guy fueling the plane.
Hey, I seen your other video where you flew over the dirt open field that was really awesome , when you landed on an unpaved field I work at an airport my self I've never seen that one
Huge double slotted flaps! That’s it’s secret for landing so short! How many degrees do they go to? 90? Lol what is a typical lightweight REF speed? High 80’s?
If you pull a line (Cord line ) form the leading edge to the trailing edge of the flaps you will see a angle of about 30 degree. As if the flaps are retracted. It looks 90 but that only used on the hawker 600/700/800 series. In that position it’s a air brake. Old hawkers had no trust revers for braking
Wow, I look at those beastly Fowler flaps and while I know she has great unpaved short field performance, I can't help but think, why would anyone want to scuff this work of art with pebbles? It's such a beautiful jet! I guess if only one tool will do the job, then there are no questions. Still...
Those flaps when fully extended, are suposed to act as a shield for the engine intakes, catching all the debrie and dust kicked up by the wheels. So yeah, you actually want them to get hit by pebbles. :D
I love your attention to detail. No step so what about evacuation, does this compartment light turn itself off, wouldn't this cap hit the plane in the wind. Awesome 👍
I know logistics and costs are involved when buying an aircraft of this class, but I feel the utility of this plane compared to most is astonishing. How it is not more known is beyond me for the performance, and even the cargo door benefit for transport.
I like it, as a line guy, but I do wish they'd made the landing gear scissor able to disconnect because the towing limit can be a little restrictive. PC-12s are pretty easy to tow (excluding the prop) but being able to do 90 degree turns (or more) makes it a hell of a lot easier to maneuver in tight areas like the hangars. Either way, the big 'ol cargo door and better ground pressure are nice features for us, especially in the winter. Unfortunately, it is equipped with a vacuum lav, which my experience stink to high hell constantly, but at least it's not a Hawker. Grounding plug in the fuel panel is nice, hope they included a way for us to disengage the brakes when the pilot inevitably leaves them on and goes to his hotel.
There are sport or super cars pickup and walk-arounds and there is PLANE pickups. Can't do any but... Plane pickup is the real deal without numbnuts glitter all over
What a fabulous aircraft and a short fielder as well. Just a small point I always thought the Pilatus factory was in Stans in Switzerland - not Denver.
I live in north lv a few miles from Nellis. Your take off on that commercial flight did not look like mccaren. Does north lv airport have commercial ops?
For the money, I expect certain things. This aircraft has some net value, and has presumably been inspected at every stage of production. It has then been flight tested. Its Swiss. Amateurs do reveal themselves at every step, and this is how you impress me.
I build/organize the build of the starter/generator unit that gets paired up with the williams engine on that airplane. Just saw my work on youtube for the first time! Its amazing to see the engine bay get opened, and there is your product.
and to know that your workmanship is responsible for it staying in the air and getting people safely on the ground..good job...
You assemble it. You act like without you that aircraft wouldn't be flying. You can be replaced and someone else can do the job.
Holy crap I couldn’t believe how far the flaps extended 😅
You could cut the grass with those
Funny thing is this jet is designed to land on non pavement too

@@ParadigmUnkn0wn Interesting to learn. I'd be afraid of flaring the aircraft too much and scraping them.

Great video. 17,000 feet in a blink of a eye. I can see how easy it is to fall in love with this plane.
Great job on inspection, i love how man can conceive,design,manufacture,and assemble so many parts to make such a beautiful machine!

I do lol thanks
@@PlaneJunkies what do you think of the dassault falcon jets they are from France
Damn, those PC-24's have some flap square footage. :)
That door.....on a light jet! Straight outta the PC12. Amazing.
That climb performance was insane!
Everyone loves a good cameraman....
That is a whole lot of flaps for a relatively straight wing! Take off and landing performance must be great!
beautiful plane. Smooth and climbs like a beast!!
Very interesting video on the Pilatus PC-24. I noticed the big flaps, which reminds me of the flaps on the Boeing 727.
Frankly beautiful airplane.
Red and white is not common.
Cheers from France.👋
checks out the flaps, lav service panel, and single point.
Oh wow.. what an awesome plane.
That was one fast and short full powered take off
First time I’ve watched your channel, great video.
This thing is SO badass! I love it!
0:50 737’s feeding in their natural habitat.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing and including that initial walk around. Very cool!
Wow, this is a fascinating video, never seen an aircraft with all it's covers opened and a close examination of the fuselage, wings, engines and cabin.
Those double slotted flaps though 😍...That wing really sucks them up I wasn't expecting them to extend that much.....wow!

Absolutely beautiful
Liked and Subscribed...Thanks again Tommy for all the Hard Work and for Sharing this Beautiful Plane with Us..
The powerful short vertical Take off is truly amazing.💯
wow. she is Beautiful. Good luck with the new work horse. I really do not like to use that term, but I am sure she is going to rack up the mile really fast. Thank you for the view into your work world. And Mary Christmas to your Family.
That cockpit looks like it’s from a spaceship!
Boy do i wish i could fly one of these
wonderful modern cockpit. i wish i have one of those planes :)
What a beautiful plane ! Thanks for sharing
I'm betting this smells better than any new car smell ever could....
Awesome !!! Thanks for sharing the experience.
pretty effective landing lights :D Great airplane!

really beautiful airplane.Pilatus Forever.
Wow! That thing took off so fast. I need to get my hands on one of those.
That was very cool. Thanks Plane Junkie.
If you notice the Gulfstream's have the large flaps that make a sweet pocket of air to make a sweet touch down. Nice looking plane. Good luck!😎
6 million dollar jet.... 12:35 "If it says fail, flip the switch back and forth and it should fix it" 😭
It should make you happy to know next time you're on an airline flight that there is graffiti in side all the compartments of the plane you're in and the fueling valves probably failed and had to be opened with a screwdriver by the underpaid line guy fueling the plane.
Hey, I seen your other video where you flew over the dirt open field that was really awesome , when you landed on an unpaved field I work at an airport my self I've never seen that one
"Sometimes the fail light comes on. Just turn it off and back on again. That usually fixes it." -- Factory rep about new jet (12:32)
"Have you tried power cycling it? That usually fixes anything."
Love those double slotted flaps 👍🏼
That was awesome, Thanx and Congrats!
Beautiful and those flaps!
Wow it’s very quite in the cabin/cockpit!
Congratulations!
What a beautiful engine.
Wow, exquisite machine 🤤
First time I’ve watched your channel, great video. Thanks! Very cool report.
LOVED IT!!! GREAT VIDEO. THANK YU
Nice Video and thanks for the share
what an amazing plane & to think it can fly non stop across the atlantic and take off a grass strip.
Someone said a few comments up that this plane has a range of 1,188Nm. I don’t think it would make it to Iceland
Man, I'm glad you post these videos. It's as close as anyone of us is likely to get to those wonderful machines.
your welcome . ill have more the more I fly lol
Where is part two?
haven't done uploading it yet lol@@seangreene64
Roffel - Just what I was thinking
Hey hey hey don’t be so sure about me. I’m gonna own one of these suckers when I’m older
Things got flaps for days
Youre the best bro!!
Wow brand new. I like it 😉🙂👍
Nice footage with every little detail of it. I love mechanics even if I work with software.
I love these video's make's me wanna take a flight, I love the pilatus aircraft
Loved It , slim jet .
amazing aircraft
Amazing.
Huge double slotted flaps! That’s it’s secret for landing so short! How many degrees do they go to? 90? Lol what is a typical lightweight REF speed? High 80’s?
just 33. light Ref speeds ya 89-92
Yeah those flaps caught my eye too. The inboard section reminded of the 727.
If you pull a line (Cord line ) form the leading edge to the trailing edge of the flaps you will see a angle of about 30 degree. As if the flaps are retracted. It looks 90 but that only used on the hawker 600/700/800 series. In that position it’s a air brake.
Old hawkers had no trust revers for braking
It sure didn't take much runway to get to V1
Beautiful
Looked like a firm landing
Wow! Nice! Did get the aircraft with the tug unit in the video? That's sweet too! Cheers!
The Pilatus factory is in Colorado? Kick the tires.
Wow, I look at those beastly Fowler flaps and while I know she has great unpaved short field performance, I can't help but think, why would anyone want to scuff this work of art with pebbles? It's such a beautiful jet! I guess if only one tool will do the job, then there are no questions. Still...

I think i read that Pilatus are adding 'Gravel Protection' to the PC24 for rough field operation.
If I'm paying that kind of money I would be checking every detail of the construction as well.
I love your attention to detail. No step so what about evacuation, does this compartment light turn itself off, wouldn't this cap hit the plane in the wind. Awesome 👍
Wish someday I'll be able to pick one up too.
The aircraft equivalent of kicking tires. Looks good to me!
The "sign here" is the same also. LOL!
Great video! I hope somewhere in the future I will be in a position where I can pick up my own airplane right from the factory. :D
Nice 😍

I'm curious what line of business you-all are in.
Thanks for sharing this experience!
Awesome Part 1. When is part 2 ?
That glass cockpit system looks perfect but I think ... you need some good training and exploration ;-)
Beautiful plane and I bet that's a great plane to go to work in, just wondering what was wrong with the section they had to replace?
Watching the flaps deploy explains the short field performance!
Its beautiful, and fast isn’t it?
It just seemed so fast taking off
I noticed Mmo was 0.74 so what do you file for cruise speed in your flight plan?
How many hours did you have to have before you could fly it, for insurance purposes? 🤔
Hey Mister - there's a guy with a camera fondling your aircraft. - I think he's in Love.
There are sport or super cars pickup and walk-arounds and there is PLANE pickups. Can't do any but... Plane pickup is the real deal without numbnuts glitter all over
What a fabulous aircraft and a short fielder as well. Just a small point I always thought the Pilatus factory was in Stans in Switzerland - not Denver.
Main factory yes in Swiss. Final assembly for orders on this side of the world are competed in the US.
Colorado is the next best place after Switzerland thats why Pilatus North America is there
How many windshields have you gone through? They are failing constantly.
I live in north lv a few miles from Nellis. Your take off on that commercial flight did not look like mccaren. Does north lv airport have commercial ops?
Who else thought the thumbnail was a flying car?! Haha.
Working on a PC12. That's a off "loading lip" of the cargo door
Dear Santa,........
For the money, I expect certain things. This aircraft has some net value, and has presumably been inspected at every stage of production. It has then been flight tested. Its Swiss. Amateurs do reveal themselves at every step, and this is how you impress me.
How much is the plane? Aren’t the embraer 500 or honda jet be cheaper to charter?
I live near that airport!
No slats; no leading edge devices. No thrust reversers; same as the Tomahawk Cruise Missile ;-D
Can you take delivery at the factory?
Go pilatus pc-24
The new gen of whisper jets.
