  • This was an interesting one: a direct crosswind gusting to 34 knots, a 40-foot-wide runway (taxiway, actually), and a bird strike!

    Nice video!
    A good visual reminder of the difference between heading and track.

    Since the yoke and the rudders are interlinked, does that complicate the crosswind landing in the PC12? IE... if you left correction in the yoke, but you want to lower the left wheel first on landing (kicking right rudder), does that pose an issue?

      Nope, no issue at all. You don't even notice it. It's very subtle and is easily overridden by pilot inputs.

    Good thing you've turned on the taxi lights, since the landing was to be made on an actual taxiway. Otherwise that might have been considered a possible pilot deviation 🤔

    Harrison Ford approved taxiway landing.

    Just found your channel, it's fantastic! The PC-12 is my favorite aircraft! (Student pilot getting ready for checkride here) Do you need to live near the "base" for these jobs? The closest one I found is 5 hours from me, so it almost feels not worth it spending the money on traveling and overnights. Thanks! Keep up with the good videos!

      Thanks for the kind words! As for living in base... Most jobs require pilots to live within 1-2 hours, but commutable positions are becoming increasingly common. In those cases, the schedule is usually 1 week on, 1 week off (or similar). The company pays for your commute. It's one heck of a lot of time away from home though. Good luck!
