Thank you for responding. I am a licensed pilot and I really enjoy your videos! I also appreciate your professionalism in the way you fly and conduct business in the air! Thank you!
#ILoveThePC12 because of the flat floors! This is something many jets twice the price don't even have. It is such a luxury for small kids and pets!
Thanks for the flight very enjoyable, good hearing the talk-back from you and the tower .
The distance and speed capabilities are almost unmatched with the PC-12. A plane I can only dream of being able to fly one day. #ILoveThePC12 !!
Agreed Dan! I know of a guy who took his nonstop from Texas to Bermuda!😳
Another successful flight in the "one of 2,000 PC-12's." I flew the series 9 and 10 about 1,500 hours and performed as a PC-12 CFI at SIM-COM Scottsdale, an EMS pilot, a corporate pilot, Part 135 Check Airman and company CFI. Great airplane to fly into all of the Lower 48 States that I have had the privilege of performing a smooth as silk Pilatus landing. If you respect it and learn the necessary limitations, it will always be a great way to travel. Longest flight was 1,484NM westbound and 6:31 aloft with a landing fuel of 590 lbs. Many of these airplanes will be flying 30,000+ hours and still be a viable form of transportation.
Yep I sure do love those silky landings! Do you remember what series that long flight was in? And what altitude and was it endurance power or max cruise? I’ve tried GSH-PHX which is 1339nm and was showing under 400lbs at landing so diverted. Or did you get lucky and have no wind that day?
#ILOVETHEPC12 Two things I love about the PC12. 1. The ability to fly in and out of short and non-standard runways i.e. dirt, grass etc. 2. The range and payload capabilities. Keep the videos coming please!
Yes! I would love to do some more non-standard runway ops in it but that doesn’t really fit our mission. Short sometimes, but no grass yet.
The perfect compromise on low approach speed and high cruise speed, range, service ceiling, and short field capabilities with the power and reliability of a PT-6 that’s why #ILoveThePC-12
Yep, makes it one of the most versatile planes on the market!

#ILoveThePC12. Love your calm, thorough, pleasant procedural approach to flying. Great editing, audio.
Your Co-Pilot is pretty awesome 👍 and can never go wrong with PC12 flight.
Absolutely!
Beautiful
Is the best adjective I can think of regarding this content! Family, aviation safety, travel......simply beautiful, thank you!
Thanks Larry!
Airborne Suburban.
Love it.
I love your straight forward approach to making flight videos. Your talk-through approach is valuable for those working on an IFR rating, me included. Thanks.
Thank you!
Thanks for another great one, I love how many options for airports the PC12 offers allowing us to land a great sized plane so much closer to our destinations #ILoveThePC12
There are very few airports the PC12 can’t go to!
I look forward to it! Thank you!
The perfect combination of class and utility. #ILoveThePC12
Agreed Don!
#ILoveThePC12 Hi Grant. I passed my initial European PC-12 (NGX) checkride yesterday. There is soo much to love about the PC-12. The performance, the avionics but also the build quality and comfort.
Anyway I really enjoy your channel. Keep at it!
Greetings from Europe :-)
Congrats! It’s really a great airplane all around!
#ILoveTuePC12 Love watching you fly this gorgeous airplane.
Thanks Sam!
What a fantastic aircraft! It's so much more than a suburban!
Single efficient engine. Turbine reliability. Single pilot requirements. Cabin pressurization. Useful load. Cargo door. What's not to love?! Nice work, Grant! Love the vids! Your editing gets better with each one. Keep at it. Stay safe. 🤙🏽 #ILoveThePC12
Thanks Tim and I agree, there isn’t much not to love about the PC12!
Great flight.
#ILoveThePC12 I FREAKING love the PC12! I first fell in love with it when I was working with a aircraft detailing company. I instantly fell in love with the size of the cabin. It's perfect for a family airplane to take it wherever you want. I love how simple you make it when flying it. Probably one of my favorite things is the Honeywell Apex Primus Cockpit. It makes flying so much easier and streamlined lowering pilot workload. Also can't forget the engine start up noise, it brings joy to my heart. :)
The avionics are awesome and the cabin is great for carrying almost anything you want!
Absolutely love your videos!
Thank you!
Excellent content as always! Congrats on the milestone!
Thanks Nathan!
Another great video. Thanks very much!!
Thank you!
The best SIC out there
This was a great series with your family.
#ILoveThePC12 ❤
Thanks!
As an engineer, I am constantly amazed at how Pilatus continues to update and strive for perfection with their PC-12. Getting to see videos like yours make me want to get some turbine time in one! #ILoveThePC12
You should if you can, it’s a joy to fly!
Great landing. You greased it Captain Baker! Unpaved runways and short field landings is what defines the PC12 #ILoveThePC12
Short landings are a blast in it! Haven’t done unpaved landings…yet. 😁
@@GrantBaker that's a bucket list Captain. Be sure you upload that video ASAP. Cheers 😎
Great video
No wonder there are no flying cars , that chattering is insane.😮
That’s standard life with kids.
I lovin' it 😮
Now I’m craving a burger!🤔😂
Another well edited and enjoyable video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jerry!
As always, thanks for posting and taking us along. I was so happy to see Jackson interested in what was going on and not starring at a tablet the whole time this trip!
I love that he’s always interested and asking questions when he’s up front!
#ILoveThePC!, great ac versatile, safe and fast.
The more questions he asks, the more insterested he’ll be in maybe wanting to become a pilot! Fun to see #ILoveThePC12
He definitely asks some great questions!
I love that it's a reliable aircraft. # ilovepc12
Extremely reliable!
Thanks for another amazing video. The PC-12 is a unique aircraft offering efficiency, comfort and safety. And the fact that there is a toilet on board is an unbeatable advantage, especially when traveling with kids on a long flight. Moms are certainly grateful for that. #ILoveThePC12
I know my wife agrees with that!😁
Awesome! #ILoveThePC12
#ILOVETHEPC12. THE perfect plane for business and personal use. The cabin is spacious and the ramp appeal is amazing. Good to see you again Jackson. !!!
I 100% agree Larry!
#ILoveThePC12. Love your calm, thorough, pleasant procedural approach to flying. Great editing, audio.
Thanks!
Thumbs up 👍 good job 👏
I enjoy how you make flying the PC12 look easy. #ILovethePC12
Congratulations for over 10k subscribers. I love the PC12 … it has been my dream plane for many years.😊❤
Thanks Michael!
Thanks for the channel, the Pilatus is a great family airplane, you get great performance and unrivaled safety at the same time. Keep us posted!
#ILovethePC12
Thanks Kári! It’s one of the safest, if not the safest, GA planes available!
Thanks for the videos! For an aspiring pilot in an online ground school your explanations help fill in the blanks! I appreciate the time and effort - even the background to Jackson’s comments about his experience! #ilovethepc12
Thanks and good luck with your training Valonda!
Seen PC12 on air show years ago and felt love with it. Still it is my dream plane #ILoveThePC12
thanks another fantastic video great job my friend 73
Oh, I think I love the sound of a pt6 in beta more than anything. Good to see ya Grant! #ILoveThePC12
That is a beautiful sound indeed!
Great Channel. You're a safe competent pilot. Keep up the training. #ILoveThePC12
Thank you!
#ILoveThePC12
Another great video highlighting the mighty PC12. I think its wonderful that your company lets you take your family on trips. As far as the PC12 love, I love the roominess of the PC12 cockpit, at least it looks roomy based on the people you put in the front seat. Also, you make it look like its an easy FMS to operate with nice big screens. Thanks for the great footage!
It can be a bit of a maneuver to get into the cockpit, but once you’re in it’s very roomy!
Great flight
#IlovethePC12
Thanks Steve!
I was just speaking with a broker who recommended the PC12 last week. My favorite thing about it is how versatile it is as well as how it has a large cabin for passengers. All around it’s probably be the best turboprop built today in my opinion. #ILoveThePC12
It’s a very comfortable plane for passengers, spacious and quiet!
#ILoveThePC12 !! Great videos. The PC12 is the best plane for getting in and out of 47IN imo. Definitely #1. on my list in that class of aircraft. Really appreciate your taking the time to do the vids.
Absolutely! I haven’t landed it on grass yet, but I took off from the ~2,300’ grass runway at GSH once. I was by myself and not terribly heavy and used about half the runway.
Nice flight Grant!
Thanks!
What an awesome plane to have to fly your family around. So versatile and functional. Wish I had one! #ILoveThe PC12
Agreed Don!
Hello from KVPZ. Nice to see a 'local' hitting the UA-cam airways. I earned my license in 1998, at a time when the PC12 was in its early years on the market. #ILOVETHEPC12
Hello!👋 I do a little contracting on the PC12 based at VPZ. 😁
Like it to, although not so local..Norwegian! Got my CPL Helicopters in Ontario Canada in 1988 and CPL Airplanes 1990 in Durango, Colorado and then went on being a pilot out of Myrtle Beach SC for 4 years before returning to Norway just when the change happened in aviation where there was to many pilots and to few jobs. Then went on to work as a ROV pilot on the floating oil rigs in the North Sea. Better pay and time off (2 weeks on and 4 weeks off with full pay) so I never returned to aviation :)Now at 60 and early retired I might buy a PC12 if I win the lotto :) and fly for fun.
#Love the PC-12. Nice video
Another great video! The PC-12 is such a reliable and versatile airplane. I love your professionalism and consistency in the cockpit and I always look forward to the next video. #ILoveThePC12
Thanks Terry! Agreed, the reliability and versatility are incredible!
Great video as always! I love the versatility and the comfort of the PC12. #ILoveThePC12
Agreed, Brandon!
#ILoveThePC12 love the versatility and cargo door size. Keep up the great content!
We don’t carry a lot of cargo in it (at least haven’t yet), but it sure makes loading bags a whole lot easier!
I love the sound of the engine starting up! Best aviation sound in my opinion #ILoveThePC12
Yes a pt6 sound is 🔥!
#IlovethePC12 Really like PC12 single engine safety, useful load, and speed. Really enjoy your videos. Fly safe!
Yep, that’s a fantastic combination!
Great videos! Thanks and keep them coming! #ILoveThePC12
Thank you!
The versatility of the PC-12 is amazing. Speed, carrying capacity, unimproved runway usage. Just amazing. Looks beautiful, too! #ILoveThePC12
100% agree!
Thanks for another great video. Your videos are inspiring with tips to improve flight skills, communications, and flow in the cockpit. The PC12 is probably my all time favorite single turboprop, such nice lines and abilities. Teach the younglings well. Look forward to more content. #ILoveThePC12
Yep, looks great and flies great!
#ILoveThePC12 -->flying with your son in the right seat at that age is so cool too see! Already learning the controls. So very cool.
Gotta get them started young!
great video....#I love the PC12....great to see your son in the right seat...start em young!!!
Yep, and I love that he’s curios and asking questions and learning!
Your videos are really cool I just enjoy watching you travel. I love the PC 12 iPad Mini.
Thanks!
#ILoveThePC12 Congrats on 10k! I just saw you land at Goshen the other day as I was driving past! I love the look of the PC12 especially when it's getting dark and the lights are on!
There’s no missing it, that’s for sure!
Great job Grant. Thanks for sharing as always. I like the flexibility and efficiency of the PC12. Fast cruise, great useful load and can operate from shorter fields. Not to mention the PT-6 reliability that makes for low risk single engine night / IFR operation. #ILoveThePC12
Thanks Randy!
Nice video and good editing. Plane looks pretty dam nice too!!
Thanks, yeah the plane is very nice!
# I love the Pilatus 12. Son just got his PPL. Thanks for all you do.
Congrats to your son!
Awesome video! #IlovethePC12
Thanks Trevor!
# I love the PC12
Love the load carrying capability and room for passengers. Ramp presence is great as well.
A bit more roomy than a Cirrus!😜
Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
I think that phrase is in the kid-parent contract somewhere!🤣
Love your videos! Also LOVE the PC12! I love the speed and range. Such an all-around great aircraft #ILoveThePC12
Yep, the speed and range are awesome!
I’ve been enjoying your channel for a couple years since becoming interested in a local PC12 job. I started in that role earlier this week and begin training at SIMCOM next week in the NGX initial class. I’m looking forward to what looks like an amazing machine. #ILoveThePC12
Congrats!
I’ve only been in a PC12 once. I like that they are very stylish looking and modern. #ILoveThePC12
Yep she is a good looking bird!
#ILoveThePC12 !!! Definitely one of the aircraft that I want to get a rating on. Absolutely love the overall sleek look of the PC12 and the speed at which it operates.
Awesome video as always Grant. Love the little bit of cloud surfing that you did there. I currently have 4 hours left before I can test for my IF Comm, so I should test within the next 2 weeks ... depending on the DFE.
That’s awesome Franco! Good luck and be sure to update me when you pass!
#ilovethepc12. Especially the hand cursor control and your co-Pilot!
I really, really like the cursor control device! And I have some great copilots!😁
Love flying along with you. PC family is awesome....must be the Swiss blood🤩 in me!! #ILoveThePC12
Thanks Jerry! I’d love to make it over there for a factory visit sometime!
Congrats Jerry, you won a sticker during my recent livestream! Please email me at pilatusgrant@gmail.com by 5/27 to claim it!
I love the pc12. Reliable, efficient, good speed, and carries everything! #ILoveThePC12
I completely agree Michael!
Congrats Michael, you won a t-shirt during my recent livestream! Please email me at pilatusgrant@gmail.com by 5/27 to claim it!
Grant, the flights are flawless and content always learning. The PC12 is a wonderful aircraft and love to hear them fly over our home. Looking forward to next video. #ILovePC12
They definitely sound awesome!
@@GrantBaker I have Pilatus flights flying over house full flaps setting up for 44N Sky Acres and KPOU Hudson Valley Airport. We are not far from PAWLING VOR. Just incase you travel in our direction. Meet for coffee or whatever.
Closest we’ve been is probably Danbury, CT but we don’t get up that way too often. I’d enjoy coffee if I do get up there sometime though!
Fantastic video as always!
I love the PC12 for its "human size" and its ability to land everywhere, even in grass airfield #ILoveThePC12
Yeah it’s definitely a plane that you can fill with size-2023 Americans!😂
hahahaha
Another nice informative video, like the cost effectiveness of pc12,#I Love the pc-12
Very efficient for what it does!
I really enjoy your content. And your sons questions are really cute and smart. He will be a good pilot one day, I am pretty sure. #ILoveThePC12
Thanks Jan! I agree that he’s asking some great questions!
My favorite ✈️ love to own one one day
It would be a great choice!
#I LOVE THE PC12. I’ve always loved the PC 12, Really enjoy your videos, you make flying IFR look simple…
Thanks John!
We have been looking at PC 12’s for a while now and are hoping to be in a position to acquire one soon. Thanks for your videos. I appreciate learning more about these planes and your missions. #Ilovethepc12
It’s a fantastic airplane Russ, I’m sure you’ll love it!
Grew up in Goshen. Still have family back there. I currently live in California, will be coming home to visit soon.
Cool!
I love everything about the PC12 except for the cost 😂. These videos are great. GA pilot here and a long time subscriber. #ILoveThePC12
Yeah just a bit out of range of what I could afford to own also!😂 But for it’s capabilities it’s incredibly efficient.
Great video. Love how your young copilot went from "Are we there yet?" to "How do I move the mouse?"
Love these Videos. Thanks again for taking us into your Cockpit 🤙
I love the noise of the Turbine start up 😂 #ILoveThePC12
Totally Lorne, a pt6 startup is 🔥!
#ILoveThePC12 - great video and glad to be a new subscriber!
Thanks Kevin, welcome to the channel!🥳
Another fantastic video 👍. A few things I never knew before, like the Nth/Sth flight levels in Florida etc. Loved your sons comment, about time to get there, after only 16 min 😂. Having just obtained my CPL, it's definitely a bucket list item to fly the PC12 one day. All the best. #ILoveThePC12
Yep and I learned there’s a bit of a limbo area. You may have noticed during the Timelapse that one of the controllers said “I thought you wanted 24.” Apparently nobody was controlling FL240 (for cruise altitude) in that area. He needed me lower, but the guy he handed me off to still needed me at an odd altitude and I didn’t want to go up to FL250 that day so he shipped me right back. 😂
#ilovethepc12. Always have enjoyed your content, and you have inspired me to resume flying again @44 years old. Really hope to get an opportunity to fly a pc12 while building to ATP mins!! Thanks for all you do on here
That’s awesome Michael! PlaneSense or Tradewind would be great options to look into for PC12 opportunities!
#I love the PC12! The videos are great too!
Thanks William!
Great videos and smooth landing on this one. The PC12 is super capable, it’s like a carbon cub and a corporate jet had a baby. #ILoveThePC12
That’s an awesome analogy!😂
I have about 6 hours in a PC12 Most stable plane I have ever flown sure seems fast compared to my Skyhawk Been watching you for a long time Thanks for the time it takes to make these Videos and thanks for being a great DAD on Final Dad I see smoke :) #ILOVETHEPC12
Thanks Duane! It’s a great stable airplane!
#ILoveThePC12 I have 10 hours of right seat time in the PC12 and enjoyed every second! It’s an awesome plane with fantastic capabilities and few drawbacks. I’ve always called it “my powerball plane” 😊
Yep hard to find many faults with it!
