Hi Dennis, like the way you flight king airs. But I wonder why you did not put full rpm before landing in this flight as you usually do in other videos and as I always do. I don't like to see the orange reverse not ready light on final.
In my other videos it should be the same as this one. It’s common practice to land King Airs with the props pulled back at or around the cruise setting. This is normally done for passenger comfort due to the noise with the props full. On a 3-bladed 90 I land at 1900 RPM and 4 blades I land at 2,000. Reason for 2,000 is that a 4-bladed 90 experiences a much bigger blade angle change when you pull to idle and the nose drops from the added drag. 2,000 minimizes this without adding a ton of noise. On a 200 I land at 1,800 rpm.
@@RunwayHeading Agree with Pilot Dennis on this. Same applies for non turbines like Baron’s, Bonanza’s, etc. If an engine is happy at a high speed cruise setting and can accept full power at that setting without damaging the engine, just leave it.

Talk about the upgrades to the plane. Good video- audio, thanks
Upgrades but no autopilot
What kind of short field
Performance do you get w a Blackhawk 200? Half tanks, standard day, sea level.
I honestly do not know sorry. I’ve only flown it a few times and always long runways.
Is that the actual sound level ?
