AirSmart PC-24 "BUSH JET" Pilatus Unpaved Airport Operations Training

We take the PC-24 out for the day to accomplish training for the flight crews for Unpaved Airstrips Operations. And wanted to see how well the PC-24 handles the loose gravel .

That landing was smoother than most pilot would do on a runway......nice job!

[@PlaneJunkies]

Thank you

Awesome plane dude nice

That dirt landing was slicker than a freshly greased otter, sliding down a ski jump on a polished metal food tray. Outstanding 👍

[@iglyigly1193]

You can not compare twin turbo jet otter to a Pilatus. Whats the point in taking that risk ? So many things can go wrong its only matter of time before a stone rock jack rabit a mouse a lizard grass hopper gets sucked into that jet and there is no Hudson River to put her down in you and 2-9 souls are dust bunny balls of fire.

[@jlalbee]

I just love this. Pilatus has designed a business jet with the operational capability of a Cessna Caravan. What an awesome piece of engineering.

[@dbclass4075]

PC-24 is their next step to the PC-12.

[@davidmarcelmcdaniel]

You can tell Tommy does aerobatic maneuvers on his free time. This is content I can watch all day.

[@PlaneJunkies]

lol

[@warrengamey6267]

Great piloting skills skimming just 30 feet above the airstrip before landing on the unpaved surface. Also outstanding camera work capturing the flight from every conceivable angle, especially impressed with the underbelly shots. This jet is a real game-changer!

[@PlaneJunkies]

thank you

[@747-pilot]

Yes, this jet is really a game changer. I'm so in love with it!! It's like a little toy that can go anywhere! The general specs are also amazing for a jet. Almost the maneuverability and flexibility of a high performance single engine piston combined with the speed and capacity of a jet!!

As a Swiss I am pretty proud of Pilatus. They produce 1st class aircrafts for decades. The PC6 is still unmatched 👌🇨🇭🙌

[@PlaneJunkies]

they did a nice job for sure

[@savagedabs8536]

As a human I'm pretty proud we made it off the ground.

[@a4achtung]

This will be perfect for the unpaved runways of Sinaloa 👍🏼

[@GCOCommander]

Talk about an unimproved runway, that runway looks like it was last improved in 1910. Nice landing.

[@PlaneJunkies]

thank you

[@dirtcurt1]

@@PlaneJunkies I totally disagree, that runway is smoother than half of the paved runways in the word! Try Catalina with the PC-24.

[@PlaneJunkies]

I have landed in Catalina . its now brand new compared to what it was

[@EnabledShooter]

I bet that was pretty interesting, flying over the runway at 30 feet with the gear up. You don't get to do that every day. Pretty cool.

[@PlaneJunkies]

haa haa lol ya

[@fetchit55]

Amazing! The cockpit looks so clean and well thought out!! Beautiful! Great job of flight and video! Wow!

[@PlaneJunkies]

thanks

[@abglenn]

One hell of a mental fight for PIC to get to this level. Wow.

[@signature1990]

This dude blows the image of a corporate pilot out of the water....

[@iglyigly1193]

No thrust reverse...??

​@@iglyigly1193 I have the same question ... apparently it doesn't have that

[@mwdittmar]

On dirt you wouldn't want to use thrust reverse. The cloud of dust it would blow forward can get sucked into the engines

[@aerodiaz]

@@iglyigly1193 Empty is not needed if you land at the right speed.

[@barkindustry8150]

Great landing and love love love that take off angle! Thanks for sharing

[@timmorris3056]

The Beechcraft Hawker 3ARA was also built for off pavement landings. With RollsRoyce Viper Turbines, there was not much that could stop it, and the vertical climbouts are awesome. Some airports we have to pay a $500 noise fine to land there, Kool Stuff!!

[@davidgikingo2636]

Total awe towards the capability of the PC-24, y'all should bring it down to Kenya and test it on our unpaved runways for the African market.Med-evacs Ops would be great with such equipment.

[@PlaneJunkies]

someday it will be out there for sure

[@michaeldouglas6872]

Awesome! definitely something that you don't often see corporate jet pilots or business jet pilots accomplishing or attempting to do..landing a business jet on an unmarked dirt road in the desert, and flying over it first just a few hundred feet above it like a fighter pilot!

[@PlaneJunkies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gtr1952]

The 'rock guard' looks like a mini-version of the one used on 737-200's, and that fat tire looks $$. Great job setting her down smooth on the soft top!! --gary

Well let's see if the displays feature a buttonless capacitive touchscreen. That'll be cool. BTW I didn't prefer notches. They'll block tons of useful things. Dang.

[@seyedali9463]

You are so brave and enjoy your life!! You use what you got

[@justincase5272]

Good stick! Someone should let the airfield manager know a couple of those tires are just a BIT too close to centerline.

[@mseifried5]

I love this small jet. It's about 11$ Million dollars. The first 72# sold out quickly. It has an innovative folding lavatory. It's got to be the weirdest thin landing on dirt with no exact information showing you the end of the runway.

[@bayarea5168]

Excellent nice setup with Pilatus Bush Jet! Thanks for sharing!

[@kyoakland]

Oakland baby!

[@Damburgery]

What a beautiful looking aircraft!

[@MrOzan98]

It takes 26 seconds to reach sky on unpaved runway, this is so fast.

[@bradgarrett7790]

This dude is flying this beast like hes on Flight Simulator X !! A lot of us just act bad ass (and crash occasionally) as we land anywhere in the game we want. All because we can get away with it on a simulator. He is doing it IRL and making it look easy AF. I am a fan for damn sure.

[@tawharanui5011]

Smooth operator on rugged terrain, well done.

[@loft306]

When I first started watching this one I was wondering if we would see the speed break. Yes of course we did awesome. And that was one hell of a smooth landing.

[@Strange_Brew]

I can just imagine those people passing by on the freeway, “ hello police, it’s a jet and it just landed in the desert!”

[@unknownname7731]

This is one fantastic flying machine. Incredible!

[@PlaneJunkies]

its a fun bird

[@unknownname7731]

I wouldn’t want to blow a tire on a unimproved strip...that might be a handful! It’s must be a good feeling to know you have the ability to do it if you have to. Stay safe👍

Quick question. Is there any concern that dust and sand could be sucked up into the engines and cause malfunctions or increased wear and tear? Also, beautiful landing my friend. I was extremely impressed.

[@PlaneJunkies]

not much concern . thanks

[@Ammellek]

It was extensively tested to make sure that such dust would not cause ingestion at the engine or problems on other air intakes of the act..

[@DoctorShocktor]

If you’re sucking debris into fuselage mounted engines, you’ve done something very, very wrong - like you’ve driven into a gravel pit or you’re upside down.
