I have been unable to find any videos for "Flows" on a PC12NG. Something like that would be very helpful for the aspiring PC12 pilot. Just a self serving content suggestion. :-)
Very helpful of you to list out your procedures for post flight, thank you as always! Something I was thinking to ask: since I imagine you do a healthy mix between what a bush pilot and commercial pilot would consider normal days, do you have a personal preference on what kinds of air fields you like to fly into? And I think I've only ever heard you mention IFR so far, even if waiting to pick up the clearance in the air, so do you ever fly VFR while on the job?
Thanks! 😁 The diversity of experience is one of the best aspects of flying the PC-12. I've taken off from a grass runway and flown several hours to a major international airport. One extreme to the other! And, the PC-12 mixes in well in both environments. I prefer the smaller reliever or satellite airports because they're easily accessible but still have all the services I need -- Centennial (APA), Boeing Field (BFI), etc. Those are nice stops. Flying the PC-12 VFR is rare, but it happens. Sometimes we'll fly VFR for recurrent training flights or short repositioning hops, but many operators prefer or require the flight to be operated under IFR. Cheers!
