NEW PILATUS PC-24 BLEW ME AWAY (Full Debrief)

[@bunglerat]

I'm re-doing my post because (surprise!) some other KZbin viewers thought I was being harsh. 😆 Charlie, I'm glad you enjoyed the PC-24. As a former 121 pilot (A330/B737) and now current PC-24 driver, I agree: It's a fantastic airplane. Of course, no airplane is perfect. I talk with many other PC-24 operators - and the kindest thing I can say is that Pilatus seems to have a quality control problem with this airplane. It's pot luck as to whether you get a reliable machine or a lemon. Our airplane went AOG on its very first flight after delivery, so not off to a great start! As such, I'll say it's great - when it works. Pretty much everything you said about it was effectively regurgitating the Pilatus marketing hype - which is not your fault when that's all they give you, and you have no practical experience with the type to compare. However, realistically it's a solid 1,400-1,500 nm airplane. Sure, you can fly 2,000 nm if it's a light load and you want to land with bare bones reserves - but forget it if it's anything other than severe clear at the destination. And whilst Pilatus love to promote its 'off-road' capability as being unique for the light jet segment, I'd be very wary of operating into an unimproved strip - even more so if it's a remote location. Suffer a technical issue that results in the airplane going AOG - and it could be quite a while before a recovery crew is able to access the airplane to get it flying again. Just my thoughts... Otherwise, another great video from you. 👍🏼

VERY interesting comments and Im inclined to agree with you. Im EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL of the off road feature and this review completely glosses over it. Right when he talks about flying to New Mexico for a dirt strip landing I start getting real interested to see the results and hear the feedback but they dont say a word about it. They quickly start talking about how quiet the aircraft is on the ramp and everything except the dirt landing! WTF? How can you honestly review this aircraft, talk about the dirt landing, lead up to it by saying why you're flying to NM and DONT SAY A FREAKIN WORD ABOUT IT? Im sorry but it causes me to discount any reviews on this channel as it appears more paid shill than legitimate review.

[@bunglerat]

@@DanielC__ I like Charlie's content. He runs a great channel and clearly has a passion for aviation. I don't see it as a reflection on him but more of an indictment on Pilatus for feeding him nothing but BS marketing hype. But what else would you expect from a manufacturer? They want to sell airplanes, of course! And don't get me wrong, the PC-24 IS a great airplane - if you're willing to accept its 'Pilatus-isms.'

[@tuckernielson1]

I don't have a favorite airplane. But I do have a favorite manufacturer; Pilatus would be my first stop if my savings account ever 100x's. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@afpwebworks]

Great!! I can see why our RFDS (Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service) got so excited about this aircraft. They supply the medical services for doctors, dentists, emergency and other medical services for an area roughly the size of Europe or most of the ccntinental USA. This plane looks perfect for the RFDS.

[@Popor.]

Is it true?

[@nah7140]

“Space up front”😅 I love how the sales people probably don’t call the front galley a galley or wet bar, because it’s also a toilet lol

[@matthewgrichmond]

Beautiful review! Well done, and looks like an incredible time! Thanks for taking us along

[@peterroberts2952]

First time watching your videos. These PC-24 jet videos are amazing. I'm an off-road guy, and this would be perfect for Africa where I'm from. Wow.

[@tylergood9168]

they are listening. so am I. it's the door. (cargo). big fan. shopping the 350. leaning this way. (away from) ahem....the mrs....like an anchor. thank you for the hard work (all). respect to the Captain.

[@tyberious3023]

You’re videos are amazing man, very underrated. The PC-24 is my favorite jet just because of the landing capabilities, and everything else. It’s just awesome all around

[@Aerialphotovito]

totally awesome aircraft ! I think I'm in love with this Jet , thanks for sharing Charlie.

[@Yachtnerd]

Fantastic Plane! Very impressive! I always enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Great video and review!!

[@teamkolumbix1718]

Mate, you're fantastic. Thank you.

[@fighterbomberMiG27]

I really love this new Pilatus jet generation, especially👍👍👍 avionics. I home this bird has a great performance also

[@BlacqueJacqueShellacque_]

I'll take two! I live right down the street from this place and they recently re-routed the road between us. It's a bummer that I don't get to drive by a few times a week like I used to. Always fun to see the new planes.

[@anthonyvega1959]

Thank you for sharing. I'm waiting on the faa to decide on my medical so that I can start training

[@anthonyvega1959]

The reason why the ame differed my medical to the faa is because I'm on ozempic and because I used to weight 702lbs but now I'm 318lbs. I can't wait to start training, I won a discovery flight and I loved the whole experience

[@SupAir_]

The PC-24 is the coolest jet i‘ve ever seen! Can‘t wait for the next video!

[@elainebenes7971]

Wow never thought I'd see a jet review

[@maxim-52]

Получил удовольствие при просмотре. Спасибо за поднятие настроения!

[@bigjoegp1]

now this design is fantastic!

[@mojah1]

Very impressive, thanks for sharing 👍

[@worldofmark]

Amazing video Charlie!!

[@AirplaneAcademy]

Thanks Mark!

[@antoniog9814]

Charlie, excellent video, my man! My favorite dream plane to possibly have someday has been Embraer's Phenom 300 for a long time, but I think it has now become my 2nd favorite. I had no idea the PC-24 had so many great features. The folks at Pilatus certainly have put in some thought and engineering into this machine.

Can't wait to fly this in MSFS 2024

[@brandonchappell1535]

Same, its the main PD plane i wanna fly, i just hope carenado dont dumb it down

[@caribbaviator7058]

Same here now with 2024 having better ground physics!

[@troyezell5841]

In so many ways this jet outshines many others, no question about it. The only thing is the lack of touchscreens, they are much more intuitive than soft keys. The micro joystick or mouse control is very useful but I much more prefer the touchscreens.

[@n229dh6]

When I was training for my IFR ticket my flight instructor, retired ATP, said looking out the window is secondary. Only to be used for taxi, takeoff and landing. ;-)

[@anthonydail6596]

If you need another videographer, I'm game lol. I love airplanes!!! Getting to video a plane would be awesome!

[@CalvinRoach-NYC]

I might sacrifice my firstborn for a ride in this, my absolute favorite. (not!) I'm so jealous. I have a friend in Switzerland tasked with getting me into the factory. excellent excellent report. Thanks. Made my day.

[@Ryan-719]

Nice jet! I heard these are hangar queens tho lots of MX probs

[@bunglerat]

Yes and no. Pilatus does seem to have a quality control problem - and it's pot luck as to whether you get a reliable machine or a lemon. It's a fantastic airplane - when it works.

[@bagels377]

definitely not as bad as when they first came out that's for sure haha

[@JonnyMainframe]

Pilot: “What’s that smell?” Co-Pilot: “The boss just dropped a deuce in the pull out potty.” Pilot: “Oh how I miss the days when the John was in the rear.”

[@Dan_C604]

The lavatory sucks, but Pilatus made the big priority of cargo capabilities. That’s their main selling point in this category. In comparison, embraer phenom 300 has a much better one but no the cargo capabilities of a pc24. It is always a compromise.

[@Greymantle77]

U.F.O. at 11:37--wow! Unless you've been playing with After Effects or something, you got a pretty good shot of one. As a Christian for 40+ years, I spent most of my life NOT believing there were any such things, but...now realize that God's universe is bigger than I'd originally imagined. So if you're not gas-lighting us, check that timecode section closely.

[@socalfun64]

WOW!!! 👽👽This is CRAZY! Either they are playing a big joke on whoever sees this or that is a freaking classic UFO, Saucer. I mean, WTH? This was recorded at 45,000 feet so even though it kinda looks like a drone, there’s no way (unless their messing with us, lol). 🛸🛸👽

[@paxaeterna8341]

Useful load?, runway length?

[@bagels377]

i enjoy flying it.

[@LukeKirk1113]

I knew guys at a company that flew this and unfortunately the company sold them off because it spent more time flying back to the factory for maintenance than producing revenue for the company..

[@esmoglo]

They need to male a PC-24 ER as the range is a deal breaker for many

[@maxxbrown1]

Am I the only one that saw the UFO at 11:38?

[@ohiyesa2328]

hehe I missed it

[@ThorNjord]

Those huge barn door flaps! ❤

[@socalfun64]

No, that thing is CRAZY!! At 45,000 feet, that’s no drone! If they’re not playing around, that’s a crazy, classic UFO! We need to hear from the Channel Owner who did the editing, like asap!

[@ohiyesa2328]

@@socalfun64 100% I dont think the pilots noticed it. Unless its cloaking doesn't work through a camera!

Did you say dirt strip? Sinaloa has just entered the chat

So does this one have an autopilot that doesn't kill you?

I wish you would give us the base price for the PC-24, just because I'm to lazy to look it up:-)

😮

[@jimsturt]

my thoughts too!

[@alexanderordinary2110]

the cartels are gonna luv this plane...

[@F1fan007]

Haha, I was wondering about that

[@Ghfvhvfg]

How will they procure it a good plane it is

[@DanFrederiksen]

Any Columbian customers? it does seem like a very capable airplane and that avionics does look snazzy, a credit to swiss engineering. However, it's 5.2ton empty and 12+million dollars. If the fuselage was done in 2mm carbon fiber as a single piece in a teardrop/blimp shape like Celera or Piaggio it could weigh less than 1 ton and still hold 10 bar of pressure, which is significantly more than the Pilatus can handle. Better aerodynamics and 1/6 the weight does tend to aid the fuel economy. Similarly the avionics should just be one bigger screen per pilot and no buttons. In other words, great plane, it's just very easy to do 10x better.

[@YazminM2222]

[@realulli]

It kinda sounds like a bunch of disgruntled Airbus engineers that thought they could do a better job moved to Pilatus. I bet if it was much larger, it would have a nose loading door option, giving Boeing and Antonov a run for their money. The protections sound a bit like Airbus, at least. 🙂

[@thedoctor4637]

PC-24 is Cat A approach minimums? I flew a PC-24 sim during my private training for fun (I knew someone who works in PC-24 sims).

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

There is CAT 1, CAT 2 and CAT 3.

[@thedoctor4637]

Not the approach category but the minimums category. The C172 has an approach speed of 85kts, therefore it follows category A minimums because it’s under 90kts. But if the PC-24’s approach speed is around 90kts, would it have to follow category A or B?

[@dewholdingsllc1050]

I am into data and specs. Cost of ownership and cost to fly. Please supplement with the data.

[@DaBraveheart]

This jet is really nice but I really don't like those yokes. I prefer the traditional looking yokes. These yokes remind me of the Embraer jets.

[@BryanDeLaTorre-v7y]

👍🏻. 🇺🇸

[@joeperry3376]

I’m famous!!!

[@412fk]

Anybody that owns a PC-24 want to give this student pilot a ride?

[@DIBOYOU]

quiet on the inside, but very loud on the outside 😒

[@wespotter6985]

Dirt runway, FOD trouble degrade the engines, and underside of fuselage.

[@ElCapitan12]

Electric cars need an APU if they continue.

[@TB12710]

Imo if a private Jet can’t cruise at at least 505 mph with a range of 2800 miles it isn’t worth owning. So if you’re a millionaire reading this comment you know it’s time to move on to the next episode!

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

Sorry, but that pilot has a bad habit of landing with both hands on the yoke. Last 1000 feet, even with auto throttle, you ALWAYS keep one hand on the throttle.

My dear … is nothing to see out side with and space X airplanes at 43,000 feet as pure IFR state of the art avionics is just in no out even my Ttx 2018 old old plane with 14” two PFD MFD is nothing to see out side is no a Cessna side see okey M2-G2 .., should have small windshields for performance as hi IFR amazing avionic that your tether plane has … I have one but … is no reason to have big windshield with a jet so advance face and space X style Love your video is just my experience
