Instrument Approach in a One of a Kind PC-12

- Had to reposition the airplane for a charter flight the next day in a very unique PC-12.
During the flight I mention a flap limitation for visible ice on the airframe. The first person to answer the following question correctly will win a giant PC-12 calendar that was sent to me by Pilatus. The only requirement is that you subscribe to my channel and like the video BEFORE you answer. Thanks!
The question is..
If during your pre-flight planning or the approach you realize you will be limited to 15 degrees of flaps because of visible ice on the airframe, what must be taken into consideration prior to landing? No, I'm not talking about final approach speed but it does have something to do with it.
Hope you all enjoy the video!

You should be in Pusher Ice Mode, and stall speed will be higher, AOA, should be followed to prevent pusher/shaker activation.
Great upgrade, wish we had it on our PC12-45 series 9.
Smooth landing awesome
I believe that particular PC-12 was the testing by platform that KCAC in Olathe KS was using to get the STC for the Universal system. I watched the work being done and even got to do a little bit of it when I worked there. Great to see it flying.
Didn't Pilatus switch to the 5 blade prop a few years ago? 67P has been around on the NG forever now, right? I flew older pre-NGs ten years ago for a 135 operation.
Great to watch and learn from a Pro! Thanks.
Vsy in case of a missed approach.
The flaps should be kept at 15 degrees if you perform a go-around.
Bad idea switch the camera before takeoff, looks horrible in 4k, better resolution with the other camera!!!!
Nice landing.
What's the alphabet sticker on either side below the window? An ATIS reminder? Is that from Pilatus?
It’s the system Pilatus uses to identify circuit breakers. So if the QRH lists a CB at LJ2 go to left side panel, find J, go two down.
Boutique Air has a 45 with a "P" engine. It's not quite THAT unique.
KIAS on approach must be higher about 80-81 Knots ( Stick pusher ice mode aware)...
You’re on the right track but not the answer I’m looking for. We already know that pusher ice mode has decreased the AoA at which the shaker and pusher activate so I’m still not looking at airspeed short final I’m looking at AoA fast/slow indication. There are times where you would fly a specific airspeed during landing but then we’re talking about boot/probe/AoA plate deice fail.
@@ThatPilotDude I guess you would have to pay attention to the landing distance and the landing weight of the aircraft. Both will be influenced by a flaps 15 and visible ice...?
@@bilbocrackers3246 You got it, the landing distance increases 45 to 55% when limited to use of 15 degrees of flaps. Email me your address at bgodwin311@hotmail.com and I'll send the calendar your way.
Is the calendar nice?
Nice!
