🛩️ Pilatus PC-6 Porter | 150 Meters Extreme Short Landing at Nancy Essey Airport 🛩️

🌍 Nancy- Essey airport (ENC/LFSN)
The Pilatus PC-6 Porter is a single-engined STOL utility aircraft designed by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. First flown in 1959, the PC-6 was produced at Pilatus Flugzeugwerke in Stans, Switzerland. It has been built in both piston engine- and turboprop-powered versions. After around 600 deliveries in six decades, Pilatus produced the last one in early 2019.
The majority of aircraft are powered by a single Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A turboprop engine
It possesses unique STOL capabilities, capable of landing in places only otherwise accessible by helicopter. It is fully capable of being operated from unprepared rough airstrips, in remote areas, hot climates and at high altitudes in all-weather conditions. In particular, the undercarriage employed provides for high wing and propeller clearances, making the PC-6 less susceptible to damage than conventional nosewheel-type undercarriages. For further landing versatility, various types of landing gear may be optionally installed allowing it to operate from different types of terrain; options include floats for water landings and skis for landing on snow.

Amazing short landing, I'd love to see more Pilatus flying around they are such amazing aircraft!

Thanks for watching buddy. Yes, they are amazing aircraft. We've got a lot of them in France and a maintenance center in Nancy. They are slowly being replaced by Caravan and Kodiak though.
