King Air Reposition Flight With Runup Checks & Reverse Thrust Landing

[@Dagrond]

It was surprisingly fun to watch you fly. Especially with the pop-ups showing what you were doing.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed the video and learned something new. I don't consider myself an expert yet, but I'm working daily to live up to the skills and experience of my mentors. I really appreciate the encouraging words on creating this content. It's a lot of work, but I enjoy it and am always open to new ideas and suggestions. If you're interested in learning more about the preflight checks and runups, check out the great content over at King Air Academy's channel.

Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge. Also enjoyed the step by step narratives! Thanks KAG

[@fsodn]

16:45 Your explanation of the feather checks is very thorough and informative. Thank you very much; that was incredibly useful.

[@luisalbertogoenagapena5938]

Hi, congratulations, your videos are the best in King Air cockpit flights. Please, upload more.

[@brucewbowser]

Great video, very informative, and very well done. Thanks man! Please keep these coming :D

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Thank you! Will do. Anything in particular you’d like to see ?

[@brucewbowser]

How about a "day in the life" of the type of pilot work you do? And... maybe... approach strategies with how you handle flaps, trim, speeds, and landing speeds with different weights. The way you do the graphics and gauge zooms to show what you are doing on your videos is really good. Once you get to a few hundred thousand subscribers you can get some higher resolution cameras so those gauge zooms are crisp LOL! Love what you are doing ! ! ! A video a week will get you there easily :D

[@mxcollin95]

Excellent video! LOVE the way you edited the video noting checks/checklist items as you’re doing them! That’s a super efficient way to show viewers what’s going on and a good reminder to those of us who fly king Airs. I have recurrent training coming up pretty soon in the 350i at flight safety and haven’t been in the left seat much lately so this video a good reminder of a lot of stuff. Thanks for posting! 🤙

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Very cool video, great explanations!

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

[@fantomphotography2033]

Great video! Appreciate the narratives that you did this time. Nice overlays you did on the startup too.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Much appreciated!

[@andrewgomez1676]

2 hours into my private and I loved this video!

[@ronniemackinnon3237]

Great flight!! Thanks for the ride along

[@PilotDaveAviation]

Thanks for sharing, love the king airs...

[@shaneboulds5240]

I'm a controller myself. I am ashamed to hear these controllers succumb to expectation bias and not actually listen to your callsign the entire time. They expect 92, so they keep hearing 92. The last approach controller finally got it

[@billfly2186]

I like how you ask tower for position of other aircraft in the pattern. Many pilots aren't that proactive. When there's multiple small planes in the pattern it's hard to tell a Piper from a Cessna. Good video.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Thanks! Yeah that experimental was moving too. I saw him turning base and next thing you know he’s over the numbers lol.

[@maxmasterson3804]

Great video! I liked the explanations , I also liked you played the ambient sounds so we can actually hear the engines.

[@_pjd]

Great King Air video. Thank you for taking the time to make this content.

[@manuelurdaneta7451]

Simply great, the way you highlight everything… Instant follower! Keep up the good work; it’ll lead to more work! Thank you!!!

[@xdiver01]

Great video man, loved the explanations, narratives and transcript. Thanks for sharing! 👍

[@jimdougherty2758]

I originally misread the title as "Repossession Flight" and I thought that you were sure taking your sweet time starting the engines, I did enjoy the reposition flight though.

[@riclam66]

glad i found this channel, it would be nice if you may also elaborate along the way the power setting in different phases from ground to air to ground

[@GoalWalker]

iirc there is a KZbin feature to upload multiple videos as different camera angles to one video, allowing viewers to switch between different camera angles. Such as seeing the inside of the aircraft or looking out the front. Rather than splicing together multiple views into a single video.

[@EricDennison]

Wonderful video! I love the King Air but am only a sim pilot. Two questions: why was autoignition not needed for this flight and why did you keep condition at low idle throughout?

[@robertgreenesr.7459]

wow great video

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Did they leave you hanging on the ramp?! Great content and video btw, thanks for posting, really enjoyed!

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Ha! No this is Stevens maintenance ramp. I’m pretty particular about everything on the plane, so I’m a regular at this point. They know I know where to park lol.

[@schwarzerritter4451]

Good video bro

[@j2mad]

Hey great videos! Love the way you explain things. Easy to understand. I just purchased a C90B and need transition training of about 50 hours. Not sure if you are available.

[@carloscavaleiro802]

Great video mate. Thank you. What app were you using on the iPhone for the checklists?

[@jbw9999]

The large complex your right spinner is pointing at at 32:15 is the Nissan plant.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

That’s right. It’s often used as a waypoint by tower when they are landing 32. Sets you up for a nice 3 mile ish final.

[@jbw9999]

@@KingAirGuyTV Yep! I remember Smyrna tower often saying something like "Report crossing Nissan inbound".

[@Captain_Dark]

When more videos?

[@attanakmar334]

Can someone advise me the name of the departure airport? I want to replicate the fight in my sim.

[@fathertorque4504]

I was wondering why do you keep takeoff prop rpm for cruise?

[@jimallen9225]

Looking for someone to move a C90B from KCOU to KLAL on 8/7. It’s getting finished up with new G1000. Getting new -135’s when they come in in the next couple months. Just had all 4 phases at Stevens

[@TrainSounds]

I didn’t know you can do run ups in a Turboprop. I thought you can only do that in a piston aircraft.

[@sebas1834]

Do you have any app for your checklist?

[@richardcrosbysr59ek]

Love the videos, what video editing software are you usuing?

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Thank you! I use Final Cut Pro.

[@richardcrosbysr59ek]

@@KingAirGuyTV okay I will look into it... Thank you

[@gregfaris6959]

I do not mean to be dismissive of your efforts, bu I am just saddened to see Garmin installations in KingAirs. Before being cheapened by a dual Garmin 600 this magnificent airplane probably had a CRT-tube EFIS system with HSI and RMI - a far more worthy and ergonomic package. Ripping that out to put a few Costco portable TVs on your dash is not an upgrade. Now it's true the Collins EFIS systems started to become onerous to maintain, as tubes became more scarce to replace or repair, and they were heavier as well, but a worthy upgrade, if you don't want your KingAir to look like it just came out of the local Cosrco Tire shop, would be either the Collins Pro-Line 21, or Fusion, depending on whether you prefer touchscreens or knobs and buttons. Yeah I know - it costs more, and requires more training to operate proficiently......

[@dieselyeti]

Nice. What model 90 is this?

[@pto200]

Why are the engines started with the props feathered? It would seem the drag from the props would make it harder for the starter.

[@pto200]

I think I saw you explain the reason later in the video. Should have watched the whole thing first. Good video.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

@@pto200 don’t ever try this but you could theoretically sit there and hold the prop with your hand and it would make no difference. Nothing connects the props to the engine.

[@pto200]

You're absolutely right. I forgot that is a free shaft turbine. I'm glad you pointed that out.

[@Wabs11]

What's the significance of the "foreflight" callsign?

[@KingAirGuyTV]

I use ForeFlight to file my flight plans. 902 was the discrete number assigned to me.

[@riclam66]

May I know your flight level in this one, seems around 12-15k

[@michaelmartin2486]

Taking off in low idle?

[@KingAirGuyTV]

As soon as you advance the power levers, the idle position is null. Let me know if you have any questions about when to use each idle position.

[@michaelmartin2486]

@@KingAirGuyTV I thought high idle was also considered flight idle. I guess it's just for high altitude or short fields then.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

@@michaelmartin2486 not so much with the 90. I believe the king air 350 has a “flight idle” but I hardly find a reason to ever be flying in high idle in the 90 or 200. Some would argue that when landing you can request reverse faster. This is true, however if you aren’t careful, you’ll end up floating down the runway, thus negating the value of receiving reverse thrust sooner (except now you probably really need it fast! ;) )

[@dr.omarm.toutoungi8014]

spell check

[@geneskowron1440]

Sure wish that you were wearing your headset from the begining.

[@KingAirGuyTV]

Sorry about that. I tried to cover everything I said once I had them on.
