- An other ferry flight from the "Pilot's Perspective". This time we ferried a Rockwell Turbo Commander 690C (Dash 10 engines), "HC-BUD" also known as "Buddy". Similar route as other times. This time Guayaquil - Panama - Miami, with something close to 7 Hours.
The hardest part of this plane at the beginning was the engine start up as you will see in the video, and taxiing the plane. It sounds funny but it's true! Enjoy!
Music: Track Einmusik - Nordkapp
Great video 👍
Thank you very much!

@@foxxray54 I THOUGHT this was were this came from :D LOL! Cheers mate!
Beautiful plane!
I have always wondered about 2 things on these.
1- how many people walked into the prop while entering the plane because they couldn't see it spinning.
2- have any props came apart in flight and cut right through the side of the cabin? Scary to look out the passengers window and see a 600 pound propeller spinning near the speed of sound, knowing you're hamburger if one lets loose.....
There is an electrical lock for the door that the pilot controls. Standard procedure is to lock the door before starting the engine and to wait until the propeller stops spinning before unlocking the door or turning off battery power. In the event of emergency where battery power is still on and the pilot is incapacitated, there is an emergency override on the inside of the door and on some models, the outside of the door as well for emergency responders to unlock. Nobody is coming even close to approaching any airplane with the engines running outsode of military operations if you are adhering to SOPs.
As for a propeller beside the fuselage, it's the same concept as the extremely popular Dash8, ATR, Saab 340, Twin Otter... and the list goes on and on and on.
Edit:as for weight, the 5 blade high performance Dowty Rotol MTV-27 propeller weighs in at 68 kilos so this three blade version is most likely a bit lighter. Even on the old Curtiss Commando C46, the 11 foot diameter peopeller doesn't come close to 600lbs
The 3 blade prop weights around 140lbs the exact weight depends on if it's the 3 blade dowty or 3 blade hammilton
The main, and only door, is electrically kept locked until the #1 prop has stopped turning. There is a toggle switch on the captain side that only the captain had access to so as to prevent that tragedy from ever happening. Your second question, I know of no Commanders where a prop came off in flight. The vibration from losing one prob would make the airplane almost unflyable. The only time I have heard of that happening to a civil airplane was a L188 in Alaska. They got it on the ground but it was a terrible struggle. I honestly don't know if anyone was killed but you can Google it!
Feel free to upload complete, not sped up flight. This would be great
the lesson is heels on the floor
Hell yeah! Its a tricky plane to taxi!
Rough plane with no headphones.... Garretts are so LOUD!!
Oh heck yeah! Loud as fuuu
🙌
Ni al aterrizaje o despegue mantuvieron en centro de línea en la pista.
Why is he starting with the power lever in flight idle? The proper procedure is for the power lever to be in ground idle with the NTS light illuminated.
I really couldn't tell you why he was doing that, but he was an experimented instructor in Colombia for the AC90s..... but you have a point...
@@willorge ok, just curious. I'm always trying to learn everything I can out the airplanes I fly so I figured I'd see if there's a reason I don't know about
@@chesterbloom Completely understandable, Im the same, but unfortunately as that was my second leg in that plane I was perhaps taught wrong, BUT I will try and find out and get back to you.
Depend of model of the aircraft the position of levers can change.
@@miguelmuinos521 That is partly true but not relative to this situation. He is supposed to start the engines in ground idle with the NTS light illuminated. You can clearly see the power lever forward of the "gate" in the flight idle position and the NTS lights are not illuminated. Something any commander pilot would know since that is the procedure to start the engines.
Have thousands of hours in Commanders and this "captain" is terrible. Few real procedures and very little knowledge of knowing hos to land the plane.
