- Went for a quick flight in a Pilatus today. This video shows the startup along with some footage of us outrunning a line of thunderstorms. We did a rapid descent and ended up with a smooth night landing. Great day!
That start would never get old! Never!
Would love to ride in something like that someday...
Thanks for the video!
Take care, Bill
I’m a PPL single engine so this is my DREAM plane.

That’s my dream aircraft right there, as I’m sure it is anyone’s that’s in to aviation. Thanks for sharing! 👍👍🍻
My favourite plane in terms of design. Really beautiful.
Oh yeah, this aircraft's design is a sight to behold!
this is a beautiful beautiful aircraft, and that landing was amazing. really nice to see good equipment treated well.
7,000 fpm, and still maintaining 233 knots while descending. Impressive. I LOVE that airplane.
We were only holding about 200 knots indicated. I guess it can come down at 12,000 fpm if you take it to the red line. If I had 5 million dollars to spend on a plane...this would be it!
@@quinnjim what's the maximum cruise speed of the PC-12?
HorseRacingFan100 Around 260 knots (300 mph).
@@quinnjim 260 knots seems a bit slow to me. I always thought the figure for the PC-12 was around 280 knots.
I LOVE TURBINE START-UPS!
Nice!! Those are nice rides! I had a blast on a ride in one in Oregon. The pilot kind of freaked out the owner landing on the grass strip with it. It was hilarious actually. Ha
Ab excellent skilled pilot flying an awesome turbo prop. Loved the video.
Beautiful plane and instrumentation. It's like a high performance sports car only better.
electronixTech thanks for the compliment!

Gorgeous aircraft, i notice its a /45 with a 5 blade, is this the hartzell prop? Its quite the windmill! did you ever fly it with the 4 blade?
Very nice.
Very Cool Machine!
Gordon Bennett! The *NOISE*!!!
Do pilots report hearing loss after so many years?
I wear a noise cancelling headset. Yes, many older pilots who didn't take care of their hearing suffer hearing problems.
@@quinnjim Thank you, I did wonder...
My wife, a teacher, has hearing loss. After 30 years in various classrooms, the noise of the children has caused damage to her hearing. She has to wear hearing aids to work these days. She is only 55. Apparently, the otologist told her this is an occupational hazard for teachers - noisy children.
What a machine.
Congratulations, awesome video !!!
Looking very nice. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you.
Idk what’s so fascinating about this plane to me! I’ve grown to like its appearance but in the beginning I was just amazed by how fast it could fly for looking like an old cargo plane
Ah a PC-12, very very nice airplane, the ONLY thing that would make it even cooler would be if it was an NG but still a GORGEOUS aircraft.
Wow, what a Christmas Eve present! Nice presentation.
DESSE PORTE PRA MIM É O MELHOR TURBO HÉLICE QUE JA FABRICOU ,ELE É VELOS ,ECONÔMICO ,SEGURO E UM BELO MOTOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!! E MUITO BONITO !!!!!!!!!!!!
Omg so so beautiful plane i love it , the one of the best design,😘😜😋😄😃😀😆
I like this video. We have a big brand new Pilatus shop at our airport. I have been watching a guy (stevokinevo) on you tube who flies a TBM 850 and, just based on the videos, I like the TBM better. The new 940 is so nice it makes me feel just dumb enough to think I might be able to fly it. That Pilatus is pretty cool though.
Speed versus capacity and comfort. The TBM is a sports car the Pilatus is an SUV...
Gotta love that engine!!!!!
What a huge fan, it appears to me the next largest prop was the P-51 at 16ft. It is good to see the props coming back, although the old props did not have the curvature that this craft has regarding the prop. Please respond to my observations experts.
The Pilatus PC-12 is the most powerful and profitable and business aircraft that you and own and if you need to go and operating in and out of short runways we'll this is the one and the pilot who fly them will tell you it's a excellent Single Pilot IFR Turboprop that's safe and comfortable to ride in so go out and see one for yourself and you will not be disappointed e
Safe tell that to the 9 people who died in crash today in South Dakota more money than brains flying in blizzard 50 mph winds and a foot and a half of snow I only feel sorry for children on flight to the adults good riddance to you
@@kentnauman9863 Every PC-12 fatality crash that I've read about has been attributed to pilot error. I feel that this crash will be no different. Now go back under your bridge and stay there, you stinking troll.
@@kentnauman9863 It's not the plane's fault that the pilot tried to take off with an iced up, overweight aircraft in terrible weather conditions. 100% pilot error.
DuPage my home airport!! Great video!!
Beautiful.
If I get cancer or some terminal illness I am taking money from my 401k to fly in one of these planes. I love this plane
I'm not going to wish a terminal illness on you. Hopefully you will get to fly one of these in good health! They really are cool planes. If I had the money, it would be towards the top of the list for airplanes to own. Really great how it can get in to short fields and carry a load.
Great video and great plane :)
Is this an NG, or a legacy model with a G1000? I fly legacies, and have never sat in an NG, so don't quite know what one looks like. This looks mighty similar to mine, though, except for that glass screen for the primary instruments.
I've experimented with steep descents, but not with the gear down. I can easily get 4000 f.p.m. 7000 is mighty impressive, and looks like fun!
Carl Wiltse It’s a 2003 PC-12/45. This is a legacy upgraded to Garmin TXI system with dual Garmin 750’s. Problem with NG is that avionics are integrated and for the most part not upgradeable.
@@quinnjim He might be asking because of the 5-bladed propeller, usually coming with S/N 1570+, I work with these aircraft :) love them
Great idea with the 750
Curiosity question, why during start up, is the prop feathered ? Doesn't that cause undue drag and stress on the turbine ? I have noticed this condition on most turboprop aircraft.
rickyretic The propeller is not connected to the engine. You can theoretically hold the prop as the engine starts up. Some turbo props have "brakes" on the prop so you can run the engine without the danger of the propeller moving on the ground. You want the prop to feather if shut down in case of engine failure in flight. There is a LOT less drag that way.
You see this with free turbine Pratt PT6As; Garrett/Honeywell TPE331 engines are geared turboprops and start in flat pitch.
Taken from John Deakin's "Pelican's Perch" column on AVweb (currently unavailable due to a site redesign):
The constant-speed props used on most single-engine general aviation aircraft use a very powerful internal spring to drive the blades to flat pitch, with governor oil pressure used to oppose that force.
In either case, a governor failure causes the prop simply to go to full low (flat) pitch, whereupon it becomes just another fixed-pitch prop (of the "power" type).
By contrast, the full-feathering props used on most general aviation twins work differently -- almost the exact opposite, in fact. The hub of such a prop contains a very powerful spring (called the "feathering spring") that drives the prop towards "high pitch" ("low RPM" or "coarse pitch"), while governor oil pressure (and pitching moments) oppose this. This means that a governor failure -- or loss of oil pressure -- in a light twin will drive the prop towards low RPM (high pitch), and right on into feather, which is nothing more than extremely high pitch. The theory is that with a loss of oil pressure due to engine or governor failure, you'll want the prop feathered in order to keep flying on the other engine.
Why don't these full-feathering props drop into feather at shutdown, when the oil pressure goes away? Well, in fact, the ones used with free-turbine engines like the Pratt & Whitney PT6 do exactly that -- take a look at a King Air or Caravan parked on the ramp and you'll see this clearly. But having the prop on a piston engine go into feather at shutdown would be very tough on the engine at the next startup. There would be so much air resistance with the blades feathered that it would be difficult to keep the engine running until enough oil pressure built up to bring the prop back out of feather. It would probably be hard on the engine, too, for it would have to develop considerably more power while still cold, before there is sufficient lubrication for the bearings. This would cause a lot more metal-to-metal contact before the oil starts circulating.
Consequently, the full-feathering props used on piston twins and certain turboprops are designed with a system of centrifugal latches and pins that lock the blades in a medium-pitch position when the RPM drops below 600 or so, preventing them from going into feather at shutdown. In the event of an in-flight loss of oil pressure, however, windmilling action keeps the prop RPM high enough that the centrifugal latches don't come into play and the prop fails in the feathered position. Pretty clever.
Take a walk on any general aviation ramp, and look at the constant speed props. You will generally see the singles sitting at rest with a very flat pitch (usually around 15 degrees), the piston twins with a very coarse pitch (usually around 30 degrees), and most of the turboprops in full feather.
Look like sword blades but they just move stuff around not slicing nothing
Превосходно!... Авионика Гармин, а какая именно?? Очень интересно... Спасибо за видео:). А какой звук двигателя и турбины, просто музыка... Винт пяти лопастный, а какой диаметр и фирма производитель??...
Это ПК-12/45 2003 года. Это устаревшая система, обновленная до системы Garmin TXI с двумя устройствами Garmin 750. Я не уверен в остальном.
@@quinnjim Спасибо:). С остальным я со временем определюсь...
hello, I´m buying a PC12 legacy 2004 series 10 with old avionics, I want to upgrade the avionics to GTN750 and G600Txi like yours, please let me know how your new cabin is working??, specially with the autopilot, I heard that is a little tricky. best regards and congratulations for your videos, Joaquin
This is not my plane. My buddy said they really like the avionics setup, but I don’t have any specifics. Sorry.
Hell ya!
MARAVILLOSA MÁQUINA.
What do you think of the Diamond DA62? I can't afford one, but I love Diamond planes so much. Hoping to get my pilots license at Toronto Island flight school next year. At least I hope.
In all these pilot/flight channels people always loving the Pipers, Cessna's, Cirrus, Pilatus. But I love the Diamond DA40NG, the Diamond DA40 Tundra, and the amazing Diamond DA62. Do people like the other planes just for the cheaper prices? Because from my research, the Diamond class has better safety records, better fuel, And just look so beautiful.
Me to going for PPL next year in canada. Yes Da42 looks cool and i would like to try one.
there's something else too with good design but some bad accidents recorded (Might be human error) ICON A5 sport aircraft.
Jesus Perez have you ever considered the DA42 twinstar? I’m not sure about the pricing but it’s a good 4 seater and if your a starting pilot then it might be better for you. Just a suggestion anyways. Good luck!
Pip gator just out of interest how much is your PPL costing you? All the prices I look at are very similar but I’ve heard from a few people that it’s cheaper on that side of the pond?
@@pilatuspc-1226 Hi , yea the PPL is going to cost me around 11k CAD here. And that's for the bare min hours required.
Wondering what it takes to get that right seat on a Beech 1900 after getting my CPL with Multi IFR. Any suggestions ?
Pip gator what company are you thinking of flying with? If you’ve got your MEP rating your IR rating and your CPL aswell as your IFR and night rating I’d say you would be good to go on that co-pilot seat. It’s quite funny because my goal is to try and fly 787 Dreamliners for air canada. Also the more hours of time in any aircraft the better, I know it seems obvious but companies these days have less time for inexperienced pilots so being able to show you have good hours will prove helpful even if it’s in something as simple as a 172. Hope that helps I guess?
Have to test my visual recollection.....were you operating out of Chicago's DuPage Airport in West Chicago? Recognized the tower and terminal area and ramp lighting plus the 20R runway. Hope I'm correct.
That was DPA.
@@quinnjimCan I bother you with a most likely stupid query, but is there any way you might know how an aviation buff can bribe his way into a short take-off and in-the-pattern fly around in a dream GA aircraft like the Pilatus, TBM or Malibu/Meridian, etc. locally? How does one find opportunities like that at Chicago Exec or DPA? I'd pay an airline equiv. ticket gratuity. Thanks
I really don’t have a good answer for that. I rode along with a buddy. I am an airline guy, so I don’t have many connections in the corporate world.
Didn’t realize they were flying til he put the gear down lol
Top!!
A flying Land Rover is what it is....
I have 1,000 hours in PC-12's both Series 10 (Legacy) & one NG. This is the most gorgeous panel I have ever come across. I'm gonna show my boss this for upgrade. What is an estimated cost to upgrade from standard Series 10?
It was over $100,000. Hard to say exactly since a LOT was done. This is not my plane. I just rode along with my buddy for fun. It’s a really neat plane with amazing capabilities.
Johann-Markus Wolff Why did he put gear down at flight level 190 ?
Does this Pilatus take passenger’s ????
You didn't show us the best part! More 6k feet decent and now outside view.
Was that the brand new Garmin 600 T'XI? Absolutely beautiful!
He also has two Garmin GTN 750's (GPS units) in the center stack. They are touch screen GPS units. I call them the 'poor mans' G3000! I fly in the SIC seat in a Citation II full flight simulator for Flight Safety and our Citation II has a GTN 750 and a GTN 650 installed. They are now required learning as part of the initial and recurrent training courses we teach (mandated by the FAA). So this PC-12 has a lot of glass in the panel for sure.
How come we did not see you take off ??
Maybe next time. I wasn't really planning on making a video for RUclips...just messing around with my phone.
Why did you put your gear down at 18000 feet?
Cameron Little That’s the procedure for an emergency descent. That is what we were practicing.
Gotcha, and you are correct. I just didn't know what you were doing and while 8 was watching I was like WTF.
I want to be able to fly a personal plane or a plane like you have here what do I need to do to be able to fly I’m from and live in the USA
You need to take flying lessons. Getting a Private Pilot license will cost you about $10,000-$12,000. You can do it a lot cheaper if you buy a cheap plane and pay an instructor cash. It's a difficult process, but nothing you can't handle if you dedicate yourself to it. This particular plane costs about $5,000,000 dollars. I don't own it. If you need a plane like this, you need to be very wealthy first!
NICE Aircraft!!!
Sir how much cost of this plane?
nonu World New ones are $5,000,000 U.S.
Special discount for you😘😋😄😁
Gear down at 19,000ft..... that was one fast decent
That is the procedure for emergency descent. It works pretty well!
Yeah I though t that may be the case but I personally have never seen it done before and found it very interesting, i did notice the speed , I think was around 180-200 which is high for the gear to go down but I suppose that’s ok due to the pressure at altitude
Magnificent
If you believe those gauges, your ITT temperature is 57 THOUSAND degrees Celcius. Whatever this ITT is it is ten times hotter than the Sun. :-)
Maloy7800 You need to understand how to read the temperature display. The “x 100” is for the single digit numbers around the edge that the needle points to. The digital number is the actual temperature.
@@quinnjim Oh, I see. Thank you for the explanation.
Is your aircraft a PC-12/ 45 or 47? Where did you have the prop work and avionics completed?
Are you happy with the work? Did you add a second battery, as well?
This is not my airplane. I have a friend who flies it for a company. I'm just a regular old airline captain who was riding along. Sorry I don't have specific answers about the plane.
Now I know this a plane that Jim can not afford perhaps a TBM 850 ;)
I can't afford to put air in the tires of that thing!
@@quinnjim perhaps a nice skylane or a 172 XP
@@mikecoffee100 The 150 is good for the kids. Looking for a Citabria with a couple buddies. I have a nice Cirrus that I'm flying now in exchange for flight instruction.
@@quinnjim Awesome
“Gear down 18000ft”
Closer to 19,000....And Still Cant Figure Out Why...To High And To Fast....Or Is It Just Me ???

Very sexy looking plane with a VERY disappointing cockpit. Those screens and gauges look a bit outdated. :-(
Nice
does it come with a bathroom?
Jerk of Hearts Yes

That did not translate well. Sorry.
Why gear down at flight level 190 ?
zukaitisfamily We were demonstrating an emergency descent. That is the procedure.
quinnjim oh. Ok. Makes since love your videos I’m in training for ppl up to CPL can’t wait to get where u are in experience
zukaitisfamily Good deal! It’s not always easy, but you can do it. I’ve never regretted picking aviation as a career (even during the hard times).
quinnjim your right. It’s is depressing at times trying to understand all this stuff stressful. I find flight school ground school is awful it’s basically up to me to know the knowledge Studying for my ppl written I’m at a part 141 school in Boise I have 90 hrs started at 16 yrs old got about 65 hrs then then life happened now I’m 35 so finishing my part 61 ppl then going into the ifr/CPL program just got approved $23k that will be my debt unless I go cfi seems reasonable compared to people around the nation with 60-150k in dent really hoping I can find a SIC job in a pc12 or anything to get experience vs cfi Will be low time pilot so not sure not really into teaching.

One single enginr is not safe
Statistically speaking, turbine singles are safer than light twin piston aircraft. Lots of people crash when they lose one of their two engines. Personally, I prefer twin engine (like you).
AIRCRAFT TYPE (PC12)
Total pilot incompetence on 98 percent of crashes
99% of statistics are made up on the spot.
Interior looks rather bland, instrument panel sure got a lot of empty space, this must be the discounted model.
That panel just had over $100,000 in upgrades. Modern panels are simpler. I think maybe you don't know what your looking at.
