Sam lands the PC-24 (ATC Audio)

[@bombaytaxidriver]

Good job Sam! Still can't get over how beautiful this Swiss aircraft is, and how lucky you guys are to fly her!

[@105blwalker]

Ah, the classic “hurry down and please slow to 210” in the same sentence. My wife and I have 55 yrs of ATC service at Indy Center...if, years ago, our instructors heard us say that they would have unplugged our headsets and thrown them across the room.

[@PlaneJunkies]

Haaa haaa LOL ouch lol

[@lulubellers]

Spin down.

[@73av8r5]

I fly a 73. You can’t do that. 🤦🏻‍♂️. I’ll give one or the other.

I guess that's the old "combined" years of service ?

Switching to a two hand grip moments before touchdown seemed awkward in that she had to regain the feels in her hands. She did Awesome....

[@graciejiujitsu86]

Sometimes it feels like it makes a huge difference though lol

[@willmacdougall5281]

Personally I never take my hands off the thrust levers during approach, landing, etc. in case of a last minute go around or a bounced landing that leads to a go around. If I can't land with just my one hand, I need help lol

I got my commercial pilots license and multi engine instrument rating back in 2013 and still have not landed my first flying job. I love your channel and the cool clips. The PC 24 seems like an awesome jet. To me coming on to KZbin and watching these videos is the closest I can get to actually flying an air craft.

Great Job Sam, please keep on doing what you do great....love it....love it...you guys are doing it bigtime and having fun .....

Great video Tommy. They're really good, giving the viewer everything we enjoy watching and hearing. Keep'um coming.

[@paratyshow]

Great Video, great landing Sam! Looks like you solved the gimbal problem Tommy, tks.

[@PlaneJunkies]

Held by hand lol

[@ronaldcuieii8639]

Very very nice. And I was listening to the sound of the landing gear being released. For me that confirmed the sound that I hear when nothing is moving on the wings of the commercial airliners, it's gotta be the landing gears being released. It's a thump noise followed by an overlapping wind sound. And that occurs mostly on the Boeing 757s and the 767s. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

[@tommidd8042]

Aw nice! An oh shit handle mounted high in between the windshields. PC-24👍👍

[@sam04019491]

Nice landing, don’t beat yourself up. Great video.

[@ditrade74]

Am waiting for each video like for Christmas Eve 😀 thank you so much much Santa.... ehm... Tommy !!! Beautiful videos!

[@michaelhoyt1473]

Well done Sam. I thought you were going to pull the yoke out.

[@ArizonaAirspace]

I’ve flown with female co pilots and I found them to be excellent pilots. Women in general are great at multi tasking and they tend to be perfectionists. I did notice though that they have a tendency to sit really close to the yoke even when they are average height whereas I like to sit with lots of leg room. That was a good landing Sam. Not sure if PC-24 has Thrust Reversers but I am used to flying Jets with TR and I always keep my right hand on Thrust Levers all the way down to touch down and landing rollout. As soon as my main wheel touches down, I crack open the TRs and as soon as the nose wheel touches down, I go into full TRs slowly unless the runway is long like those at KSLC. Even when I don’t use TRs I always keep my right hand on THRUST Levers from short final all the way to parking.

[@PlaneJunkies]

no reverse thrust on the 24. as well when mains touch the lift dump from the spoilers is aggressive . it will slam the nose down hard if you don't pull back after flare . also the fact all our flight controls are direct linkage to the yoke and not assisted by hydraulics . . I recommend them to land with 2 hands the last 10 feet once committed if conditions permit . this gives you precise pitch control and fights the helps fight the lift dump on landing . course if the winds are wild we will have one hand on the thrust .

[@ArizonaAirspace]

@@PlaneJunkies Thanks for the update.Yeah I did notice the nose bounced back up after touchdown. Otherwise it was a nice landing by Sam. You’ve trained her well. Nice video, I enjoyed watching it.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@PlaneJunkiesI love your channel, but I do believe it’s bad technique to land with both hands on the yoke.

[@arthuryannayon4123]

Tell Samantha I think she did great. I am just curious how old she is? Has she been a pilot a while and just the first landing in the pc24 or is she just starting her pilot career? I love watching your videos because since I will probably never be a pilot, I can watch your videos and imagine I am sitting in the seat beside you. I just wish you would post more because there's not always a new video for my nightly flight with you🥺

[@davefost]

Great job!!

[@saschadontknow6223]

Could someone please explain why she takes the hand off the throttles just before touchdown? 😳 I find this a bit unusual because off a possible go around, windshear, gusts etc.

[@PlaneJunkies]

winds are calm so no reason keep a hand on there once committed to landing

[@johnschuetz6331]

When will Sam be ready and able to fly alone? Can you do a video on that when she does, Tommy let her fly more full missions with you slowly not even coaching her, and then the solo flight eventually. Just like when we all did when we first did our private pilots license, "looking forward to that video, Sam's first PC 24 solo flight" Oh and WHY do those monitors flicker so much they should have that sorted out by now with the new technologies to stabilizing please find out if you can for me this doesn't happen in the falcon 2000s, Tommy if you can, I am curious what's going on there as a future owner of either one I find this annoying.

[@dheyes803]

First of all, a female at the controls, totally professional (as was to be expected and commended). Secondly, 955PS is one beautiful bird.

Such a cool job. It's not really work if you love what you do.

[@shawndowns1854]

Nice job

[@LBCORP1960]

So glad to see that Sam uses both hands on the yoke on approach and landing. For some reason, there is an unwritten rule in aviation that a pilot MUST use only ONE HAND on the yoke at any time. That’s ridiculous. Don’t listen to that. You do what’s most comfortable to you while flying the aircraft. Great job, Sam! We all hope to see more of you soon!

[@PlaneJunkies]

Agree

[@MAGApepe]

nice,,, wonder why it has a yaw damper when it has a straight wing ? just to keep ppl happy i guess lol?

[@PlaneJunkies]

Lots of yaw during an engine failure at V1 with such slow rotations speeds not lots of airflow over the rudder they installed a rudder booster that kicks on automatically if an engine fails

[@dreamchaserhighflyer9624]

I think it will be a perfect touch to get some gopro mounts in the cockpit for your videos rather than holding the gopro with your hands. There is some uniqueness to it.

[@larrymayberry2312]

Samantha did well. Hi Tommy

[@OahuDivingScubaTours]

Question. Why did you place both hands on the yoke soon after touch down? Hand should be on the power throughout the landing phase correct?

[@davidguthrie6602]

Good landing, ma'am. You're so brave to put your flying out there for these armchair quarterbacks ! Where the majority don't even know how to fly, but 😊it's easy to set behi the keyboard and criticize your flying. When they know no one will see their's ! I think that in some situations, it puts unnecessary stress on the pilot's to fly for the fans instead of flying for the pilot's enjoyment . Ok, that's my two cents. Enjoy your time flying. 😎👍

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

Good landing, but Sam's grimace tells me she wasn't happy with it. Still a good landing though!

[@PlaneJunkies]

Well she was trying to grease it on the way I do and she didn’t get it the same way

[@muhammadnimji4626]

Great landing Sam!

[@dontask77]

Is that a bubble forming on the dash right by where it curves for the hump or is it a shadow that gives the impression? Saw on another video where it looked like on right side there was a smaller bubble forming too. Shadow?

[@AviatorGamer]

That was a good landing why she made that face? 🤷‍♂️

[@xhector]

Because she got airborn for a lil bit... If you ask me, she wanted to land really smooth. :D But unless she is in competition for smooth landing, she did great if someone ask me as a passenger.

Two hand?

[@jhplus9]

So o have a question: We know the normal max range of the PC24 in various routine operational scenarios. But What is the maximum ferry range for the pc24? Could you reposition transatlantic for instance?

[@jasonmcmillan6598]

the PC 24 has a 2000 nm range. A plane could take off from St Johns, Nova Scotia and make Ireland with 1.5 hours of fuel left. But why spend that kind of money on a reposition? Reassigning a plane to a new base of operations is one thing. It would be cheaper for a charter company to contract another plane to cover a one off charter.

[@stevenward4162]

Really enjoying these Plane Junkies videos, but , could you tell us again why you use the words "Gulfstream" N955PS as the callsign instead of "Pilatus" N955PS for your PC-24 ! Please excuse me if this has been answered before! Thanks again!

[@NathanElcoate]

That's cool as. Just one question, how was she controlling the throttle?

[@LBCORP1960]

Good question! The PC-24 has an auto-throttle feature that most planes in this class do not offer. When engaged, it controls the speed on approach. It disengages automatically after landing. The pilot controls the throttle to exit the runway and to park. It’s a feature that I like very much because it reduces the pilot’s workload and decreases the chance of “information overload” that can cause a pilot’s brain to freeze at critical times in the flight.
