Ok they need to sell a plane and get a excavator and clean some of that stuff up. Accident waiting to happen. Hanger is on a incline that's how the plane rolled out
Pretty insane I've seen a Cessna 172 with a longer takeoff and landing roll than that thing. Pilatus and TBM definitely one of my "if I were rich" airplanes.
I had the opportunity to put 8 hours on this type of aircraft and I loved it, it is very versatile, powerful, stable, comfortable, pilots cabin very roomy as it is for passengers in the back, the luggage compartment is great. I love this airplane.

Watching your videos is rewarding. Your travels etc., and all the short and rough fields that you go in & out of. Your plane sure takes it. The PC-12 was designed for that and that's what sold me on the PC-12.
No wonder the flying doctor service here in Western Australia use them, they have carried me twice when I had heart attacks and I never felt so at ease, grateful to both the aircraft and the men who fly them and of the nurses onboard. The heart attacks, surgery and recovery were pretty awful but.
Beautiful plane, but it was no surprise to me that it was able to take off on a short runway like that. You have a powerful engine, variable-pitch prop and a light plane. Cool video!
If I were doing this demo, I would have no passengers or bags. I would have absolute minimum fuel. Takeoff and landing distances are dependent on aircraft weight. The aircraft we are seeing probably has enough fuel to take off and land with little reserve. .
Love the location, the storage place of the aircraft, and wondered where he was going when he started on ramp up..but that aircraft is completely amazing! To takeoff and land at that strip, all in a beautiful comfortable very capable plane, is just mind blowing!
@@bauTom the f**k are you going on about? I made a simple joke. It seems most people understood that. You're either an idiot, a child or a troll. Which is it?
One of my most memorable events of the 80's was landing on the Tasman Saddle (NZ, 2435m) in a Pilatus. Fantastic aeroplane! Spent a week in a snowcave.
The best big turbine single! Love the underground hangar and steep taxi way to the grass strip. Very unique, and a perfect location for a Pilatus PC-12 to live!
That runway would make for an interesting go around. Friends here in Australia have a Pc12 and I've had the privilege to fly in her. Makes very short work of very long distances and is very comfortable. I most certainly want one! Thanks for the vid - cheers, David
Used in Australia by the Flying Doctor service to provide medical care and evacuations to outback properties. They often land on graded tracks that pass as roads here in Australia. Also used by some regional airlines for local commuter runs to small country air strips.
Michael, that video is very limited in explaining the workings, and does not even explain that the burning of fuel vastly increase the volume of the exit gas compared to the volume of in going air, thereby creating the thrust. Also to get the fuel to burn it must first be ignited and a turbine engine does indeed use igniters (or spark plugs) as Tevin said. It is not used to sustain burning but sure is needed to start the process.
Suck squeeze bang blow. The PC-12 uses a turboprop and as any other turbine engine ignites the fuel/air mixture in the combustion chamber with igniters. Turbine engines even have multiple igniters which are used during the critical flight phases (take-off, landing, or even during abnormal situations e.g. severe turbulence) to prevent a flame-out. During cruise igniters often aren't used
Großartige Videos und eine soooo geile Maschine, vielen Dank fürs Teilen! Super wäre auch mal ein Video mit ein paar technischen Details und Einblicken.
I've spent a lot of time in my uncles old Porter and its nice to see Pilatus hasnt lost its STOL roots.I'd actually think twice before bringing my Maule or 206 in there but he makes it look easy.........Lots of people dream of private jets but little do they know this is probably the best private/exec aircraft out there.Not only will it cruise fast enough to hang with the big boys and get up as high as you need to go.But it will still get into places like this and that opens up so many more destinations.I mean seriously what good is a private aircraft if it wont get you into a nice private destination...........Although if more people bought these I'd probably be out of business ;)
This a/c can fly non stop from Montreal to Miami at roughly 400 kts. The next closest competitor in a jet a/c has to refuel in CLT or RDU and is still over 30 minutes behind the PC-12. Same altitude as well. Let"s see...uses less fuel, flies just as high , seats as many ppl and gets there with time to spare. I"d buy the Pilatus.
Me: "Honey?" She: "Yeah" Me: "I think we should go for that other house with the steeply rolling backyard." She: "Why" Me: "Well, in case we decide to get a Pilatus." She: "🙄"
I love all the videos you've posted from this airstrip. It must be one of the few in the world to include sharp turns up a steep hill to get from the hangar to the airstrip. Question: I'm not aware of any electric drive in the wheels for the PC-12.... How does it roll out from the hangar without a Tug on the front wheel?
I can see why they're getting so popular here in Colorado. They're great for our thin-air, low-lift takeoffs! Leadville (LXV) sits at 9.927 feet for example. You really need that extra performance to clear those mountains!
Wow great video sir. Love the sound of that turbine starting up. The PC12 is the plane I would have liked to have gotten next head my situation been different. But I'm glad to see you flying this one it's a beautiful ship and it does everything well . It's fast and way cheaper to operate than a jet. Safe travels ! ☺

I was more concerned with that taxiway than the runway lol
me too ;)
Seriously. Looks like somebody's driveway!
Ja, auch. Me too.
My driveway has more clearance XD Holy shit!
the guy is not only a great pilot but also knows fucking perfect the place !!
That's an absolutely gorgeous plane!
I've always been a fan of the Pilatus aircraft, especially the PC-6 and PC-12.

Forget the runway, that taxiway is insane.
its a fucking sidewalk lol
That taxiway though! xD

Give me a ride in it or it didn't happen

It's a shame he has OCD and has to keep coming back to check he locked the doors, must cost a fortune in fuel.
Michael Collier haha, keep taking off and landing to check if you closed your hangar door. Rich people's frustration
That’s not OCD

Beautiful plane, but it was no surprise to me that it was able to take off on a short runway like that. You have a powerful engine, variable-pitch prop and a light plane. Cool video!
The main reason why is the downhill slope of the runway. Can also make landings very short in the uphill direction, if needed.
Plus the sheer "downhill" power of the PT6A... :-)
No laws of physics were violated in the making of this video.

If this crap is called "airfield" so any piece of grass stripe is potentially an airport
Omg, The PC12 we and always been my favourite plan, the sounds of its start up and landing is so mesmerizing
I’ve been a passenger on this dependable aircraft many times in the Canadian north. More than a bit of a workhorse.

Thanks

I have seen a c130 take off in that short run , when I was in the service
Thank you so much! A video of my favorite airplane with no music.
One of my all time favorite UA-cam videos.
This video never gets old. I hope we'll be able to see more videos in the future again :)
the pilot was like : " ladies and gentlemen, my name is Johnny Knoxville and this is jackass "
That runway would make for an interesting go around. Friends here in Australia have a Pc12 and I've had the privilege to fly in her. Makes very short work of very long distances and is very comfortable. I most certainly want one! Thanks for the vid - cheers, David

I love Pilatus and I’m happy to have one of their facilities in my city!
Holy fuck that took off way faster than I was expecting! That's amazing!
That's pretty amazing. Big airplane operating out of a tiny field in the mountains. Nice.
The PC-12, especially the NG variant is sooooooooo nice. Dream plane.
Amazing performance and comfort, no question!
Very nice. Bellissima from Switzerland greetings.
PC12 is a fine aircraft and relatively easily maintained as only RARELY does something break.
Sorta miss working on them amd other aircraft.
Best paint job ive ever seen on a pc12. Looks phenomenal
Triple thumbs up to Mr. Gebhard!! Beautiful machine!!! One of my favorite planes is the Pilatus PC-6...
That is one gorgeous aircraft!
0:42 you can hear the introduction of fuel into the combustors and the engine sounds like a blow torch burning.
It starts up like a grill, with the spark plugs igniting an all...
Spark plugs? It's a turbine engine.
How is the fuel ignited then? Pardon my ignorance.
Michael, that video is very limited in explaining the workings, and does not even explain that the burning of fuel vastly increase the volume of the exit gas compared to the volume of in going air, thereby creating the thrust.

The pilot probably got his experience in Colombia.

Excellent film footage and sound.

Seems like a demonstration catered for king pins, looking to move their product from remote airstrips in the Colombian jungle...

"Locher Airfield" or Lochers' front yard? at 3:21 the pilot was doing some weed eating!
No weed eating, just some weed blowing
Better make sure that front strut is fully inflated! That bump on the downhill runway looks like a prop strike waiting to happen.
The thing is literally made to do that. AWESOME!
I've flown in the right seat a few times in a PC12 with a four blade. Now we have a 7 blade on the nose. It's take off distance is mind boggling.
Those planes are so well built. Very rugged.

Just do not buy them used...
Border dogs will sniff out some substance...
It's going to be a nightmare for landings when gophers start digging up holes in that lawn-runway.

So that is how you mow the lawn in your country? Very cool!
It's just blowing loose grass
Somebody is havin fun, I'm jealous. Beautiful plane
I've never seen a plane going uphill with just on its own thrust. What a machine.
"Positive Rate- Gear up" took long... or do they keep it out longer in STOL scenarios?
Undisclosed Music probably just simulating an obstacle to be cleared.
That is a tight spot, pilot is focused on terrain clearance, the gear can wait. Any wind will be a big issue.
I've seen back yard tomato gardens with more room than that.
and this is where I found my love for pc12 turbo props!!!
