King Air 350 Flight Vlog to Santa Monica

Flight from Visalia to Santa Monica in a Blawkhawked King Air 350.

[@nilslindenblad9856]

That was a fun flight!! Love the King Air!! Thanks for posting.

[@HELERsx]

What a beauty. My absolute favorite in Microsoft Flightsim, so fun and easy to fly

[@julio6019]

Great video!!! The King Air is an outstanding airplane!! Awesome footage!!!

[@GLICKMIRE]

Looks like you touched down right on the numbers. Good job!

[@juststuff5216]

Really, really cool ... and with the Blackhawk conversion no less ... very swish! More like this, please.

[@romanflys6544]

Will do!

[@alphalithium4463]

Fantastic King Air 350 !!

[@KSCPERFECT]

Nice Job of managing energy, greased it onto the numbers!!!

[@user-yl4lf9mh1w]

6:28 it's crazy how close flight simulator gets to this level of detail. give it another 10 to 15 years and it will look just like this.

[@user-kh9rh1tp2k]

usíng orbx and it really looks almost like this

[@dieselyeti]

Our 350 has the same Blackhawk -67 mod with the props. It's a hot rod. Our B200 has the Proline 21 panel, which I'm not a fan of; we use iPads with Foreflight on yoke mounts.

[@jonnykelly4903]

My favorite plane on Simulator, wish I could go back in time for a doo over mate!

[@benn9499]

That is Whiteman (WHP) not Santa Monica.

[@cleareddirect7013]

You are correct, it was a tight squeeze on the ramp

[@jonewman]

So beautiful!

[@pilotthalles9682]

Great video 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻

[@markjessurun7765]

[@cryptombt5880]

I love the king air 350, it’s a blessing to fly. Please do more videos

[@cleareddirect7013]

I will get to work on that ;)

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

It's been a while, but that looked like a straight in approach and landing at Whiteman (WHP) up in Pacoima - not SMO.

[@airplaneramp]

Nice King Air!

[@miguelangelroquerivas8345]

EXCELENTE VIDEO..SALUDOS

[@mustang19ms]

what a pilot!

[@sergehobo2697]

I fly King Air 350i Fusion and I love it!

[@fun2gether26]

I fly the Proline 21. Waiting for differences training for the Fusion. Love flying the KA350 !

[@sergehobo2697]

Fusion is smart,very good to fly! So many options in navigation! But sensitive for cold weather!

[@MarcusJFloyd]

That wasn't Santa Monica, that was KWHP. that's where I fly out of.

[@AuditRecon]

Very nice aircraft, are the propellers equipped with variable pitch? Like a Merlin I guess. On the numbers,,, nice. Thanks for the great videos. HNY

[@cleareddirect7013]

Hi there, to answer your question… yes they are variable pitch. One thing that I really love about the King Air is the “beta” range of the props. We can actually reverse the pitch on landing so the engines are thrusting forward in order to slow the airplane down. The result is a super short landing roll

[@kenclark9888]

Don’t ya love that SMO slam dunk ?

[@panhakhmer6224]

Nice

[@doogeey6mluca421]

Santa Monica airport? IATA: SMO ICAO: KSMO FAA LID: SMO ? . Airport about 2 miles (3 km) from the Pacific Ocean (Santa Monica Bay) and 6 miles (10 km) north of Los Angeles International Airport ? are you sure it's Santa Monica airport (Los Angeles?)

[@stevefambro189]

Could they put any more trees or obstructions under short final?

[@someone3.2007]

14:19 exact frame used for the thumbnail of the video

[@selinRedito-bd4vp]

Doea king air 350 is the same starting checklist with C90

[@Alvarezjose037]

Wow

[@joegonzales1953]

KSMO runway is 3/21 not 12/30. You took off and landed at two airports with 12/30 runways. KVIS does have a 12/30 runway though.

[@andrewpel2134]

HI, NICE. Why the condition lever on high all the time is it a normal way of operation or can it be in low idle??? Appreciate it

[@cleareddirect7013]

It really does not make a difference in flight because N1 runs above 62%, you can move it from high to low and will not see any difference. If you are running on the ground in low idle the air conditioning compressor will kick off. If you land the airplane in high idle you will get into beta much quicker and have shorter landing rolls.

[@oates76]

Is that a 3D printed cup holder? Been flying 200’s for 10+ years, no cupholder. Would love to know where you got it. Thanks!

[@cleareddirect7013]

It absolutely is ! If you would like one contact me [e-mail]

[@xr801david]

Does this 350 have higher horsepower engines than usual? Takeoff roll seems rather quick

[@cleareddirect7013]

Yes it does, it’s got the PT6-67A engines and 5 blade props. Compared to the stock -60 engines and 4 blade props. Check out www.blackhawk.aero/upgrade/xp67a-engine-upgrade/

[@xr801david]

@@cleareddirect7013 Figured. Thanks for the info…I could definitely tell there was more power.

[@PilotLH]

Can you explain the use of high and low idle to me as I see some KA350s flying with low and some with high? Are there specific requirements for when to use high or low idle and if so what are they? Many thanks, Lee

[@waholoopesorry74]

low idle on the ground, high idle in the air. that's all there is to it.

[@PilotLH]

@@waholoopesorry74 after speaking with a real life KA pilot he told me high idle is only used in specific scenarios such as when loaded close to max MTOW or performing short field landings.

[@dieselyeti]

@@waholoopesorry74 Once the power levers are advanced to full the position of the condition levers is irrelevant.

[@dieselyeti]

High idle is often used for starting the 2nd engine, for a boost to the starter. Also used on a very warm day for the air conditioning.

[@allanwalters5938]

Super, but that isn´t Santa Monica, it´s Pacoima near of San Fernando.

[@cleareddirect7013]

I know

[@amgguy4319]

Santa Monica?

[@kenclark9888]

The one airport looked a lot like Whiteman

[@cpuwolf]

four stack Whiteman when I see the reservior

[@shanelowe2438]

Was this out of Visalia Ca?

[@Cess08van]

KVIS, very familiar!

[@foxtrot789]

You went to Whiteman, NOT Santa Monica...

[@cleareddirect7013]

Thank you for clearing that up. We have addressed that in other comments

[@Janet_Airlines802]

That one big tree and the wires at the very end should be removed. Sketchy

[@clint81]

you didnt land in Santa Monica lol

[@elly40093]

add some music to the intros and you views will take off!! I recommend epidemic sounds or artlist

[@cleareddirect7013]

Good idea! Thank you for the tip

[@elly40093]

@@cleareddirect7013 no problem

[@dmh54321]

That was Whiteman not Santa Monica. ooops.

You are correct
