    You freakin' rock for doing this, Kaity. I hope this gives others in the Part 91 world inspiration to do the same when they have the opportunity to give back! You should totally do a 1-1 interview with him outside of the cockpit to make up for the lost audio.

    This is so awesome, as a low time guy I watch the turbo prop / turbine guys and gals on the ramp and think you all are pro ball players and I’m just practicing T Ball 🤣.
    It’s so nice of you to help out the little people and give such amazing access to your high tech aircraft. Keep up the amazing vids and don’t ever lose this servant leadership attitude, it’s so awesome…

    All I have to say is why am I living in Framce. Aviation seems so much more easy in the US !
    Next time I fly over I'll check in with you to see if there would be an opportunity to fly along with you.
    Besides turbine time (which I need to acquire) I love the PC 12 and there aren't that many here I can't tell you.
    Thanks for sharing your tips, life as a pilot and more.
    Looking forward the next one,
    Fly safe and happy landings ✈️ 🙏

    Kaity, where you you when I stared flying. I’m 77 now and don’t fly anymore. Lost my medical. I’m so pirouette of you for sharing, any don’t give back. I was 18 when I started and paid for my private certification my self. Life got in the way and didn’t go any further. Was working on my instrument rating and viet nam came along. Keep it up we all crawled before we walked. Thank you for what you do. There’s nothing like the gods eye view.❤

    I love that you do this. When I get my opportunity I will do this too. I have my commercial multi and single with 800+hrs and 100hrs PIC in a C421C and stuck with no prospects. I really need to find someone who cares like you do and willing to help out. Blue Skies!

    This is so great. I'm a new CFI and trying to navigate my way to regionals or a Part 135 operation. I should also mention that I'm 53 years old! I would love the opportunity to gain turbine time, especially in the PC12! Thanks for giving back to the aviation community, and I would love to fly with you someday.

    Dang! I wish I was out your way, because I would definitely take you up on your offer. I would love to see what it’s like to be in that type of cockpit, given that all my time is in small single engine, general aviation aircraft. I love what you’re doing, and that’s so awesome the way you’re giving back to the community. Continue to fly safe, and thank you for sharing with those of us who may not have access but for your giving spirit. Take care!

    I’m not a pilot. Just a truck driver that likes to watch flying videos.
    When I was over the road, during Covid,there was a Fred Meyers store in Boise I loved to get food at. The best/ nicest store I’ve ever shopped at. Best produce anywhere. Exit 52, same as the airport exit, I believe. Then north next to the ghetto Flying J truck stop.
    I’m a western Colorado based fuel transport driver now. I hauled jet fuel out of Denver to Vail (EGE) & Aspen going into Covid.
    Just haul gas & diesel now.
    Safe travels

    I worked line service when I was working on my ratings.Made a lot of connections that way. The FBO had an aircraft sales department and got my foot in the door and built time that way and saved me lots of money.

    Hi Kaity... the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has a PC-12 with the same avionics package, although probably less complete. I'll go back through your videos to see what I can pick up... Greetings from Québec, Canada... 🇨🇦

    • @pilotkaity
      @pilotkaity  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You’ll pick up a lot, I’m sure! That’s good to know so new pilots can use that to brush up on the avionics

    • @Gilles45
      @Gilles45 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I just did a flight from Phoenix to Boise, shooting the ILS 28R and I guesstimate that at least 90% of the important systems are modelled, including creating a flight plan, SIDS and STARS, even VNAV. I'm a Garmin person, but I found many videos on TH-cam explaining the navigation system. Very impressive for a freeware aircraft.

    I am currently a private pilot and took my written for both IFR and commercial, passed them, then Covid hit and I was unfortunately unable to take my check rides… I had not flown in several years until about a month ago, a good friend and flight instructor took me up… I have been thinking of transitioning jobs and have been kicking the idea of flying as a profession… Most of my hours (around 300) have been in my Comanche 260… I would love an opportunity to fly in a turbo prop to see if this would be something I could see myself doing for a living. If you ever have any open spots in the future, please consider me. Thanks so much for all you do for aviation… 😃

      I think there has been some confusion with this video. I’m not opening this invitation up to the general public. I don’t fly with people that I don’t know. This video was more saying this is something you could find in your local area through people you know

    Hi Kaity, we have very similar jobs flying P91 in the same type aircraft. I also try and take along another pilot whenever I can. I am a CFI/II/MEI. Do these pilots you bring along have a high altitude, complex, HP endorsements before they can log PIC? Just a rabbit hole I have fallen into in the past and want to know your thoughts. Thanks!

    • @pilotkaity

      I usually give it to them on the first leg and then they can log PIC after that

    What about using a Ground power unit on a Cessna or any single engine land airplane? being that the price ratio is much different when it comes to engine running time...do all airplane have sockets for the GPU?...FYI: I am a ramp agent for UPS and not many connections as the other ramp agents plus their administrators have no clue about aviation... The only topic of their interest is sports teams. ...it is like walking into a prison
