I like the analogy your husband used. As a a competitive shooter everyone has personal preferences the way they do things. As long as it works for you, that’s all that matters. Since I’ve been watching you, I’d say you’re a very proficient pilot.
I'm amazed by the number of stories I've heard about pilots who continue to rely on the autopilot when things are clearly going south. Perhaps I'm a chicken (or haven't fully figured out my autopilot) but my first reaction when things seem unusual is to hit the DISC button.
It really depends on the situation but when things begin to go south you generally should go to the lowest level of automation that you’re able to handle
The ATC thing, my guess is that he was working two sectors combined and they uncombined the sectors. Sounds like a log of planes in the other sector so he switched them all at once. Just a guess
Perfect Analysis and good reinforcment: missed approaches and go arounds are not emergencies! there should be no need for a hair trigger reaction to anything
OMG So many comments, but I'll focus on 3 things and try to keep this succinct. For context, I'm only a private pilot (IFR) with 800 hours. Also don't fly with an AP equipped aircraft at this point so my qualifications to comment here are limited. 1. Hands on controls with AP active in turbulence - actually had this same conversation with some pilots a few weeks ago. I said the same thing about the propensity of AP to click off and hand you a configuration you're not ready for. 2. The throttle thing - I fly a Cherokee with a throttle quadrant. While I don't have to worry about a TOGA button, I've found I get more stability and less propensity for unintended inputs in turbulence on approach by holding it as you do than using the top of the lever. I can steady my hand against the frame of the quadrant while making fine controls with my hand on the shaft, two things not so easily done gripping it at the top. 3. My CFI yelled at me for #2 but I continue to do it for the reasons mentioned in your video. Every pilot finds what works for them and two different methods can be equally effective and safe. I was taught long ago about taking "feedback": Take what you can use and apply, and throw away the rest. Too many pilots are sure their way is the best way and they'll make up every reason to justify that rather than consider that maybe there are other ways of doing things that work as well or better than their own.
I love all your comments! 2. Is actually very common and I don’t agree with your instruct on that one but it is definitely a technique not a procedure so take what you pretty
Slow is smooth; smooth is fast.” This is the received wisdom in the gun world. There is no reason to rush a missed, and you’re doing it right. Does the Pilatupus’ automation suspend the approach and fly the missed? In G1000/ GFC700 world, it will command the pitch on FD, but pilot must cram, climb, clean and then re-engage A/P
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear… GFC700 will disconnect and command TOGA pitch on the FD, but it is up to PIC to configure power and plane for the missed by hand before re-engaging the A/P. I presume, but don’t know, that the PC12 is the same. Thanks.
Having only one throttle and not four makes it a little easier for you. I have never flown a PC-12 so I don't know if you have auto throttle or not which might cause more or less pressure on the throttle. Hope you got the link to the RAM mount for the PC-12.
@ yeah, it does matter but there’s a range of acceptability and if that works best for you and is just as safe then why make it such a big deal right?😂🤷♂️ keep up the good work, I’m trying to get into the corporate flying world myself but man is it a struggle.
Great content Kaity! Love seeing the PC-12. Hoping to score a ride in one someday. Working on CFI out of SLC. Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks, good luck with your CFI training!
Glad I found you on RUclips, excellent pilot, thanks for sharing.
Glad you're enjoying the channel!

Thank you! Yes I think he hit the nail on the head with that one. To me it’s just a technique which means there not really a right or wrong

That would make sense

Well said!

No it doesn’t you have to hit the toga to sequence the missed which is why it is importance to be able to get to that button
Sorry, I wasn’t very clear… GFC700 will disconnect and command TOGA pitch on the FD, but it is up to PIC to configure power and plane for the missed by hand before re-engaging the A/P. I presume, but don’t know, that the PC12 is the same. Thanks.
@@dane59589my da50 stays connected and flys the missed when I press toga... and it's g1000 gfc 700... but my da40 disconnects and goes to ga/ga

Yes I bet you have a lot more to manage in the 74 for sure! The NGx does have auto throttles but imo they don’t make much sense on such a small plane
@@pilotkaity There are 4 engines to deal with and thrust reversers, we do have at least two pilots though. Happy Sunday from New York City.
Hey Katiy, do what works for you. I enjoy watching your PC-12 videos. I start working on my PC-24 rating next week. Blue skies
How fun!! Where are you training?
sitcom
I love your videos, Katy. ❤
Thank you!
New sub..you have an AWESOME job......😊
Welcome aboard! Glad you are here!
What’s the controversial technique? Also, I would probably get your gear and flaps up before you hit NAV and YD
I wasn’t saying things in the exact order
Nice your husband threw you under the bus in the end 🤣 Great video guys!
I thought it was pretty funny 😂
There are real things to debate, this isn’t one..
I tend to agree but thousands of people on my videos have been very into talking about this lol people have some strong opinions
@ yeah, it does matter but there’s a range of acceptability and if that works best for you and is just as safe then why make it such a big deal right?😂🤷♂️ keep up the good work, I’m trying to get into the corporate flying world myself but man is it a struggle.
Paradise to Tragedy : Entire Family lost due to Father's Mistake! - Flightpath Aviation RUclips // Consequences of autopilot kicking off //
I’ll have to look it up
Weird humble brag about shooting there but OK
He is really good at shooting though in his defense 😂
Lame…
Why?
Nothing like constructive commentary.
