Beautiful Pilatus PC-12 T7-PBL - Very close Start up - Take off - Gloucestershire Airport

[@MrSuzuki1187]

I fly the Pilatus PC-12NG professionally, and have flown many other airplanes equipped with the awesome PTA engine, which is a free turbine. This means the propeller is not mechanically connected to the engine. The prop is turned using exhaust gasses from the compressor section that turns a turbine connected to the prop. You can actually hold the prop and start the engine, which must be done under very cold conditions when the engine oil might be congealed. With other airplanes (Pilatus excepted) you can actually feather the propeller on the ground or in flight with the engine still running, something I would do when I was a King Air instructor. A great way to teach single engine flying in a two engine airplane with the "failed" engine still running. Can't do this with the Pilatus, though.

Bit of a lover of my BizJets ah? Haha The next video looks to be Citation CJ3 M-WMWM. Thanks for the very nice comment!

[@ManchesterAviation]

That's pretty cool! It's great that you are able to get so close to the aircraft! Also, I see you are very near 1000 subscribers!!!

[@cpocketts]

Thanks very much, I'm very lucky to be able to get so close. Yes 1,000 is a lot and I'm very grateful.

[@tomleiner2363]

5 blade fan pulling that thing of beauty! If I remember, that adds some cruising speed, doesn't it?

[@HolisticHealthEducation]

[@lucianosr71]

I love this plane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnogo7886]

I really like the Pilatus PC12 if ever I get a pilot’s license and can afford one I’m going to get one.

[@thetransponder7186]

Everything this damn plane does is just beautiful. Accept crash

[@davecrupel2817]

Must be max takeoff weight. Cause thats the longest roll i've ever seen a pc12 do. Haha

[@TheDormonid]

I personally think the TBM 850 is better looking. But this one might be better. Experts please answer this!

[@cpocketts]

+Luiz Almeida I am not sure, the TBM is smaller than the PC12 but i think the TBM is better looking it is so compact and fast!

[@blewyd]

PC 12 is like a luxury suv while the tbm is a sports car
