Pilatus PC-12 Condition Lever

Short one about the condition lever in the PC-12. Say hello in the comments! :-)

Awesome breakdown of the Pc12 systems. Keep up the good work & thanks for your efforts, every video I'm learning. Thank you Sir!

[@GeneStuart]

Glad to hear that! 😁 Thank you!

[@Timmay46]

Clear and informative. Thank you.

[@GeneStuart]

Thank you!! 😁

[@rackum44]

I had the sub Great video very well explained and I really liked how you explained the air the fuel and everything very swiftly but yet thoroughly. I'm just a sim pilot but love to learn

[@GeneStuart]

Thanks very much!! Glad it helped. 😁

Nice to see you back!

[@GeneStuart]

Nice to be back! 😁 Thanks for watching!

[@blutowitz]

Great video. You clearly explain the purpose and use of the condition lever. Could you explain the MOR (manual override) purpose and function? Thank you, Gene.

[@GeneStuart]

Thank you! 🙏😁 Did you find my video about the MOR?

Good stuff, thanks!

Just got hired to fly PC-12's!! first job out of instructing I've had. Binge watching all your videos to prepare for flight saftey next month! Also if you have any reccomended reading materials to prepare for learning to fly a turboprop shoot a reply to this comment! looking to be the most prepared person in my class.

[@GeneStuart]

Nice! Congrats on the job! If you can get your hands on the Flight Safety manual or Client Training Guide early (FSI usually makes them available online before class), I'd read up on the profiles. Just armchair fly yourself through the various phases of flight and try to get the flows down. Also, I'd look over limitations and some of the more common emergency procedures. If you'll be flying an NG, Honeywell has a bunch of training videos on here about the Primus Apex, too. Good luck! You're gonna love it.

@@GeneStuart thanks man I appreciate it a lot!

Thx for info I am starting my PC 12NG training very soon.

[@GeneStuart]

Nice! Good luck!

Hi, any tips for my type rating training since its my first type rating training I am felling bit nervous!!

[@Mattblackaviation787]

Great video!! Would it make sense to put the condition levers as detents on the main power lever?

[@AO-hc1wi]

Nice video :) But what’s the manual override for/when do we use it🤔

[@GeneStuart]

Thanks! :-) Good question... Looks like I'll have to make another video. 😉

Great video, do you know why some king airs always fly with the condition lever in the low idle, shouldn't it be the same as the Pilatus?

[@GeneStuart]

Thanks! Flight idle is necessary in the PC-12 to ensure sufficient bleed air for de-icing boot operation. Since King Airs have two engines and therefore more available bleed air, they can get away with letting those engines slow down a little more in flight. Some King Air pilots do almost all of their flying in low idle. It makes energy management even more of a no-brainer and is a bit more efficient. You might use high idle if you needed the engines spooled for a short-field landing so reverse is ready and waiting, but it's usually not necessary.
