  • South Florida was super busy for our departure back to the cold north. We had weather to deal with enroute, and some ice on the ILS back into Goshen. Hope you enjoy the flight!

    Very enjoyable. I'll probably never fly something that sophisticated so really appreciate being able to vicariously experience it through your videos. Thank you! I especially enjoyed the split screen with 4 views on the approach. The view of the PFD was excellent, while also seeing the outside views. I understand the effort in creating these videos and want you to know how much that effort is appreciated.

    You are so fortunate to get to fly. I lost my medical shortly after learning to fly at a young age because of the disease I came down with. Still on the meds many years later. My goal was to become either an airline pilot or work for a private company or a charter. What do you do for a living? You must own a company or a lawyer. Perhaps a doctor or an Indian chief lol.

      Thanks William! I did mention it at 31:40 but yes it’s because of icing. You’re limited to F15 if there’s visible ice on the airplane. There’s nothing wrong with always landing F15 assuming there is enough runway but I generally use F30 unless there is ice on the airplane.

  • @ExtremeRecluse
    @ExtremeRecluse 2 роки тому

    Aside the difference in payload, how does it differ in performance with the TBM? Is this a popular business aircraft. I live close to a very busy bizjet airport (PTK). I see Pilatus aircraft on the approach often. Most often I see jets. I live across the street from the outer marker.

    • @GrantBaker
      @GrantBaker  2 роки тому +1

      Range, especially with much of a load, is far better in the PC12. There’s a lot of trips where the speed advantage of the TBM is gone because it needs a fuel stop. The PC12 also outperforms the TBM on takeoff and landing distances.
