An excellent pilot, his airmanship was superb, he knew and looked out so had the picture of what was going on. His inputs on the controls, smooth and stable, unlike 890% of mordern airline pilots who stir the yoke or side stick so fast, the controls just flap up and down. Excellent sir
Sync those damn props please! Also.....turbine engined aircraft and no checklist being used. I don’t know if I would like that. Pretty complex aircraft to leave procedures to memory.
when taxiing is the left hand lever a nose wheel steering device as opposed to using the pedals? Looks strange to use while still at speed on the runway. I only fly small light aircraft so maybe its not unusual. Looks like you need a third hand.
Well, yes - it might look weird when put left hand on the nose wheel steering and then right hand to the left yoke for Push-To-Talk button for radio transmitting. Looks like a third hand would be useful. On bigger airplanes with a hydraulic system usually the directional control is maintained in both ways: 1) using rudder pedals until the airplane decelerates and when it does 2) with a tiller steering the nose wheel. It's good practice on a narrow runway to control the nose wheel steering tiller when props are being put in the ground beta range - just in case propellers don't change pitch simultaneously and evenly. Otherwise the aircraft might veer of the runway wich might be harmful for the landing gear and aircraft in general.
@@flyerbob124 exactly - a huge side area of the fuselage and vertical stabilizer makes Skyvan a difficult aircraft to land even with a medium crosswind. That's why the limitation is only 20 knots. For airlines its usually between 30 and 40 knots.
So much more cool than a big jet airliner! Thanks so much. Best wishes from London.
Thanks😊

One of my all time favourite machines
Yeah, although it has an aerodynamics of a shoe box, it flies nicely!
@@michawasikowski1333 shoe box indeed - just hold my beer - vario zamknięte, 14K ft ogolone w z grubsza 3 minuty - NICE!!
lots of visibility .. lots of room... might be what I need for a flying machine shop... thanks for sharing 👍
keep the shiny side ^up ^
Instablaster.
Nice landing👍
Id love a skyvan of my own, my perfect personal transport
Roomy cockpit, thanks for the vid!
Yeah, aircraft cabin is exactly 2 m wide, flight deck is just a little bit tighter - this size makes flight deck very comfortable for the crew.
You'd want to have noise cancelling headsets - all the time. Sound is similar to the BN Islander. Nice video, thanks for sharing
Now, if someone could design one for X-Plane, I'd never leave the sim!
I like the heavy rubber skidmarks on the far end of the runway, looks like the brakes were hard on at touchdown.
cool...
GREASE LANDING
Is that Perris?
Zajebiście ;]
Ungainly...and effective.
CYNCHRONICE THE PROPELLERS PLEASE SALUDOS
What a truck

Especially if like the silly woman that crashed one into a field after not taking enough fuel and double flameout.
It is complex compared to C152 or Piper Arrow.

It’s a small steering wheel called a tiller that steers the nose wheel.
@@hertzair1186 it is a handle - yes, it is a tiller
Cross wind landings must be fun😱
