Beechcraft King Air 350 Engine Startup and Takeoff

This video features a Carson Air Beechcraft Super King Air 350 (B300) and shows the engine start-up and the aircraft taxiing and taking off. The King Air is one of my favorite planes, and it is always great to see these impressive turboprop aircraft at CZNL, Nelson, British Columbia. This aircraft was operating as an air ambulance, picking up a patient and bringing them to the Kelowna International Airport YLW.

Nice video as I have always loved the King Air series of aircraft. The only thing that got me was the pilots not retracting the landing gear after takeoff. But hey, all pilots have different protocols when flying. Nice video!! 😊

[@TheHDAviation]

Thanks very much! Yes, that was interesting to see the gear not being retracted for such a long time. It's the only time I've seen them leave it down that long.

I have seen a video of this new product and I must say the graphics and sound are SUPERB! So much detail that such has to be live streamed upon use!

[@cliffcannon]

Ouch! Look how he/she bent over the nose gear (at 2:40) by standing on the right brake. Tap and release, buddy, to tighten the turn-don't hold it down! And please do remember to straighten the nose wheel while the airplane is still moving; don't stop with it still at maximum deflection. Good thing for you it was a Beechcraft...tough as old tree roots...

[@aquatone327]

Keeping the gear down keeps the aircraft more stable at slower speeds for short field takeoffs, in case anyone is wondering.

[@foxtrot789]

A little late to get the gear up but never the less some really great footage - loved the startup!

[@TheHDAviation]

+foxtrot789 Ya, I think the geese may have caught them off guard. Thanks very much!

[@aaronwilliamson1720]

Why are there so many people commenting about the gear being down? Are there any King Air B350 pilots on here, or any pilots at all for that matter, that could provide some insight into this? Before everyone jumps to conclusion about the gear, there are a few things to bare in mind; the first thing is that you don’t know the circumstances that were present inside the cockpit at the time - the pilot may have had an annunciation or engine abnormality in which case for most aircraft it can be beneficial to leave the gear in the down position in the event that you need to land on the remaining runway as well as the fact that in some aircraft having gear down can actually provide some aerodynamic stability. Another few points too is that it may have been part of the local procedures for that aerodrome, it could have been part of the company’s SOPs, or may have had something to do with the location that they were flying in I.e. the terrain. Please think before making thoughtless comments.

[@subsoar5734]

pratt’s been making the same freakin engine for like 60 years and it still whoops ass every single day

[@citysoundfm]

Nice footage... Get that gear up man...

[@manusheunis6298]

Was thinking the same thing

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

My uneducated guess is that maybe you keep them down longer during higher altitude takeoffs? Maybe. Just a guess. In case you gotta put her back down quickly and can't wait for the mechanism to lower the gear again. Again, just a guess.

[@CMDR_Belisario]

In aviation, everything has an explication.

[@vawillbanks]

Doubtful. Having the gear extended lowers your takeoff performance. That's why you usually retract it as soon as you establish positive rate of climb.

[@ipattison]

Maybe they were stuck and flying to a place that could repair them? ;)

[@nelsonnaive4005]

wooooow, look at those birds

[@TheHDAviation]

+Nelson Liang They looked to be a little too close for comfort this time. They're always around in the evening eating grass.

[@Pilatuspcsix]

Awesome camera work, I wonder if the sharp pitch up after take off happened as result of the pilot spotting the birds on the runway?

[@TheHDAviation]

+Pilatuspcsix Thanks very much! Ya, I think they did it to avoid the geese at the end of the runway.

[@brianschaer]

nothing like flying around with the gear down...

[@nocalsteve]

Sometimes I drive with my windows down.

[@gregbuck701]

Well if there's no more runway and one of the engines decide to take a lunch break there is some unwanted drag. And if at full gross things could get busy. The 350 is an awesome machine though!
