First Flight of 2025 in the Pilatus PC-24 | Landing in ICE Mode 1

[@slapshot1343]

THIS VIDEO IS THE EPITOME OF WHAT FLIGHT VIDEOS SHOULD BE.. NO EDITING, NO MUSIC, JUST PURE AIRCRAFT SOUNDS AND FULL FLIGHT FOOTAGE. FOR THAT, I SAY THANK YOU

[@more-left-pedal]

@@slapshot1343 I appreciate that. I agree 100%…I’m just creating content that I like my self. I really don’t need another KZbin personality. I just want raw aviation content. I understand it’s niche…but glad to see others appreciate.

Very nice video and landing was super smooth. Thank you for posting. Good luck with your flying.

[@more-left-pedal]

She lands nice in flaps 15. Thanks! 🙏🏼

[@alanbarnes4991]

Welcome to Boise. It gets cold here :) Love the content. You get to fly two very beautiful machines.

@@alanbarnes4991 it is cold! I had to go buy a warmer coat 😂

Yea good start to the new year🎉 .Happy New Year to you and all your family.

[@HartsfieldSpotting]

Got an FR24 notification when you got started up, I hope to catch you out at SAT one day!

[@buckrodgers770]

Been waiting Captain.... Thank You.

[@buckbuchanan5849]

My new channel. Thanks for positing all your videos, sure is fun to follow along. Happy New Year!🎉

[@alang911]

Great viseo thanks. When you were looking for icing and saw light to moderate, does it show on the wing and clear itself immediately under the de-icing mode?

[@more-left-pedal]

When the wing anti ice is on you really shouldn’t see any build up…what I’m looking at the unprotected tip of the wing that will show some build up. I’m also just making sure that nothing is running back and refreezing on the wing.

[@alang911]

@@more-left-pedal I thought so, but thanks for clarifying.

[@edendunes]

Great video as always.

[@bugbuddy1771]

That is a gorgeous jet

[@DeaFenZiV]

I noticed in MSFS2024 that if you have FLC and AT active when climbing the aircraft will stall itself around FL350. Is that accurate to the real jet and if so what IAS do you usually climb at above 350?

[@more-left-pedal]

MSFS modeling for this aircraft has been a complete disaster…complete shame. So no…in the real aircraft in FMS speeds, it will initially climb at V2 until you pass V2, then it will sequence V2+10, until you hit FLC or clean up the flaps which will then sequence 170. Once you get more than 2500’ AGL and your more than 4nm from the departing runway, it will then sequence 200kts. It will continue to climb at 200kts until Mach crossover altitude (around FL350) at which it will then switch to .60 Mach. It will continue climbing at this speed until it reaches your entered cruise altitude at which it will then fly your entered cruise speed. Of course at any point you can manually select a speed for the aircraft to fly by putting the speed mode from FMS to MAN. Hope this helps.

[@DeaFenZiV]

I’ve never considered changing the V speeds in the flight planner so I don’t know if they are accurate in the sim but I’ll definitely have to take another look at them. I think the default V2 is just too low. I typically just maintain 140Kn until I think FL370 where that is too low, above that I will maintain about 10 knots over estimated stall speed. Thanks for the insight!

[@more-left-pedal]

@@DeaFenZiVdefinitely. I would try something like 100/104/114/170 when you are heavy with around 5800 lbs.

[@Bell429Turbo]

Seems to be there should be more comments with views.

[@Bell429Turbo]

Sorry forgot to ask. About when Bell 429 will be up in the air again 👌

[@more-left-pedal]

Ill be operating the 24 internationally for the next couple months and then back to my normal workflow with both aircraft.

[@thenewarea51]

@@more-left-pedal International 24 trip videos coming up?! Awesome!!

[@more-left-pedal]

@@thenewarea51 That's the plan as long as I can remember to bring the gear along...lol.

[@airlogic]

Thanks for your video. Butter smooth landing.

[@more-left-pedal]

@@airlogic thanks! 🧈 🍞 🙏

[@decmannix]

Any idea why Pilatus didn't add winglets. It looks a little outdated, tbh, and winglets, in general add a lot in terms of performance statistics

[@more-left-pedal]

Winglets are only needed on wings that have bad tip effect aerodynamics. This wing is a modern clean sheet computer developed 5 element wing design. It actually does have a “swooplet” integrated into the end. Anyway…winglets belong on jets from the 90s. 😆

[@Bell429Turbo]

Is it possible to get more ice build up on one wing?

[@more-left-pedal]

I suppose only if the Wing Anti Ice failed on one side...but there are safe guards and sensors that monitor and protect for that.

[@Bell429Turbo]

OK Thanks for the reply 👍 learned something.

[@bugbuddy1771]

In the jet you set on the left side in the helicopter. You set on the right side, please educate me.

[@more-left-pedal]

@@bugbuddy1771 most airplanes, pilot in command (PIC) from the left seat…and in most helicopters you PIC from the right. There are exceptions, such as in the Airbus H130 helicopter, but in most cases PIC sits on the right side due to several reasons such as placement of the collective to the left (out of the way) when long lining. Here is a good article explaining the history behind it: www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/why-do-helicopter-pilots-sit-in-the-right-seat-243212/
