That PT6 engine start always has the coolest sound

[@pilotkaity]

I agree, it’s the best!

[@markloos1388]

That was fun! And amen on the 1 mile pattern

[@pilotkaity]

Haha I’m trying to spread the word on the 1 mile pattern. It seems a lot of the big pilot mils don’t emphasize that and it’s my number one pet peeve lol

[@747FoSophie]

Night flying is nice, no sun to blind you. The seat doesn't look it has much padding. Getting hit or hitting something really gets the adrenaline flowing. It's always nice to fly with you Kaity, happy Monday.

[@pilotkaity]

The seat definitely does not have much padding haha. Something only a long haul pilot would notice! Hope you have a great week

[@747FoSophie]

@@pilotkaity It's no wonder a 4hr flight seems like a long time to you ;)

[@jazzyj6122]

Gurl, I never get tired of listening to a turbine engine starting erp.

[@1milliondrops.]

very cool night ops Kaity thanks for sharing

[@pilotkaity]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching

[@Gilles45]

Very nice video... 😎

[@pilotkaity]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@rumblethis2023]

Great video! When you did your walk around, noticed no lights were on, guessing you did check lights earlier

[@pilotkaity]

Yes I check them every flight

[@dscott130]

I really loved this, Katie! ❤

[@pilotkaity]

Thank you!

[@Duke51-SNA]

Thanks for the video Kaity! I’ve actually never flown a basic traffic pattern in the PC-12 so it was helpful to see your patten procedures. Did you do a full stop and taxi back each time or did you touch and go?

[@Duke51-SNA]

My bad..just read the description.

[@pilotkaity]

I did full stop landings but did not taxi back. Boise has a long enough runway that I was able to do that

[@JoesPilotJourney-j2u]

Love this night flight video! QQ: For full stop for night landing, do you have to exit the runway and taxi back around? Or can you come to a full stop on the runway?

[@pilotkaity]

No you can do stop and gos. That’s what I did on this flight

[@terencetaylor4600]

Good morning Kaity.

[@pilotkaity]

Good morning! ☀️

Poor little bat! Made it through the prop only to smack into the windshield. I hit something one night a long time ago over central Jersey. Turns out geese do poop in flight; who knew? I don't think that was reportable, though.

[@pilotkaity]

Omg a whole goose wow

[@dane59589]

No, thankfully just the poop. That was all that was on top of the windscreen. Friend hit a goose for real getting night current at KAVP 15 or 20 years ago. If it weren’t so serious, it would have been cartoonishly funny. The Mooney tail captured the goose perfectly, with 1 leg to the left, and one to the right. Wish I still had pics. Thanks for all the content. I’ve suggested your channel to a number of college-age youngsters considering a pro-pilot career.

[@matthewmckee1114]

These are full stop you can tell she edited the long ground time on the runway out and the description says that too

[@pilotkaity]

Why?
