X-Plane 12: My Take-Off was a Poop-Show | KingAir 350 | Vegas to Reno (KVGT - KRNO)

I understand why you named it a “POOP-SHOW”, but I think it is a great example of a pilot troubleshooting multiple problems under pressure. I could hear the stress in your voice (even a choice word or two) and it was a great example of the “fight or flight response”. I know you didn’t have much flight time in the King Air 350, but any aircraft system(s) could fail and an experienced pilot could be facing the same type of issues. I appreciate you talking us through your own check list as you were working keeping the plane flying. I sure one of those “spit and polished” creators would have thrown this one in the bit bucket. I am glad you uploaded this video as I learn and remember more from close calls then a perfect flight. Thanks for doing what you do.

Back in the days when I worked on KC135 aircraft and we had to do a compass swing, we had to note the current magnetic deviation for our surveyed swing location. So the runways compass heading have to be updated.

I am not familiar with this aircraft either. I just never fly a Beechcraft aircraft. I have been at a loss, a few times to select the CDU for GPS, with my favorite piper twin. If so I just select the heading mode and follow the GPS route.

Hi Ron, Thanks for the comments. The video was still processing when you viewed it. The resolution should get better soon.
