Not sure if you were replying to me by a 2014 Piper Meriidian. Light turboprop.

Highway in the sky below 18,000'. It is formed by an outbound radial (magnetic course) from one navigation aid and then an inbound radial to the next one.

Hello older white guy. :)

You use the same “wheel” you’d use in the air

@@walrusbfv6862 you use the rudder on the ground

Going up, we had some pretty vicious headwinds, so if I recall we did about 3 hour legs. Stops in Bellingham, Yakutat, and Anchorage. Coming back we had a little bit of a tail wind, so made it nonstop just under 1900 nautical miles in if I recall six hours and 45 minutes. No bathroom on board, just little chemical travel John’s. Those come in handy when necessary

Yes the POH gives data for 0 and 20 degrees of flaps. As you said, most people use 10 which just seems to work. The only thing with 20 degrees is if you pull up gear with a positive rate then flaps flaps, you get the gear warning which passengers don’t like. You can go flaps gear flaps, but is certainly more workload. As a P46T pilot you should be able to execute a short field take off, but is not the most gentle procedure for passengers :-)

Alpenpilot I flew it from KOKC to PAKX this past fall. The bush strip is pretty hard packed gravel and it did fine on the landing, But the take offs are a different story. I tried to do a standard soft field takeoff and it was very difficult to keep centered. I ended up having to leave the nose wheel planted on the runway pretty much the entire takeoff roll to keep it centered for some reason. Once I did that, it actually did pretty good on the gravel. Thanks for the info man

These M600's have been awesome for us. We are on our second one, and have been from Mexico to Alaska and all 4 corners of the lower 48, and have just loved it. Comfortable, efficient, capable and lots of range. Can do Anchorage to Salt Lake City 1900 nm non-stop with a light tail wind. No complaints so far :-)

@@alpenpilot2429 thanks so much for the reply. It certainly seem an extremely versatile aircraft with great reliability and presurisation from the turbine and none of the disadvantages/costs of a twin. Having it built and supported by a main manufacturer instead being a conversion would be for me at least be a major plus. 👍👍

If he has that money spend more and buy a new pc 12. Has more range and seats with a little toilet

260mph is 226knots, whether he was displaying TAS or GS i don't knot but the conversion from one to the other idicates as such.

You really just have a slight different scan. All the 6-pack information is there, in a slightly different format. Should also periodically cross check against the other primary flight display and backup instruments. When the workload is high though, yeah, it is kind of like looking at a video game ;-)

Don't scan in IMC because of digital format? What do you recommend, keep eyes out the window lmao 🤣🤣

Carmen did you ever get your rating?

@@ronjay1209 not yet but getting close. I hope to take checkride in the next few months. My instructor flies professionally and has trips. Plus he is extremely tough on me,lol. But that’s a good thing. Thank you for asking. I appreciate it

@@ctn830 Good luck

Actually no hardwired gear information. However the gear can be displayed on any of the 3, 12 inch displays, which are on separate busses, so would be extremely unlikely to get a 3 screen failure. If in doubt, you could always do an emergency gear extension, and assume that you get 3 down and locked. Bad day if you lose all the primary screens ;-)

Ralph Freshour he’s not that’s a copilot

People these days

Erik Ivester Ha!

range is always a factor of how far you can go before you have to go to the bathroom (in plane with no bathroom)

That is why a pc 12 can be your choice and if you ve got more money . A pc 24 super versatile jet thqt can take off on grass on unpaved runaways

Congratulations and good luck on your new certificates. C

Thanks! I love talking to as many pilots as I can! I’m always looking for new professional aviation connections to mentor me and help me grow as a pilot. If you ever need a safety pilot or want to talk flying. I’d love to get in touch with you!

what speed gain and other advantages did you achieve with the 5 prop blade?

We had 60-80 knots on the nose for around half the flight on the way up which really slowed us down, so we made a stop in Bellingham WA and Yakutat AK, overflying Canada so we didn't have to clear customs. On the way back with a little push we went Anchorage all the way back to Ogden non-stop. 1865 nm in 6:45. Being a single engine we followed the coastline around instead of direct over the ocean.

@@alpenpilot2429 I stopped in Yakutat in my Lake amphib one day for fuel when northbound in 2001. About 400 and a mile at the time. Stayed and caught silver salmon until weather improved.
