Test Flight on Pilatus PC-24 Jet. Extreme G-Force!
ฝัง

- This is easily the most exciting and crazy flight experience I've ever done! I flew with a Pilatus test pilot aboard the new Pilatus PC-24 "Super Versatile Jet" over Switzerland. During the test flight we did several extreme G force banking, stall demo with gear down, acceleration demo, dutch roll demo, touch and go, missed approach and sharp descend into Sannen/Gstaad Airport which is well known of the short runway.
Join me for a highly educational and instructional video with a professional Pilatus test pilot who knows all the tricks of the trade, as we take a flight within Switzerland aboard the Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Private Jet.
In this video, I have the pleasure of travelling with professional test pilot Matthew Hartkop and being given a demonstration of several basic (and not so basic!) flight manoeuvres, with the beautiful Swiss Alps as the setting for this highly enjoyable insight in to professional flying.
Before I set off, the pilot checks all the exterior features of the Pilatus PC-24 jet to ensure that she is air-worthy and I get a look at the angle of attack probe, which measures air flow and the probability at any given moment of an engine stall (more about that later), and probes for dynamic and static pressure which are heated to extreme temperatures to prevent any ice build-up, especially at higher altitudes. The tyres of the aircraft are also checked, which are specially designed and toughened to allow for landing on not just traditional tarmac runways, but also fields, grass and dirt.
Inside the aeroplane, and before take-off, Matthew shows me some of the highlights of the sophisticated and advanced information display of the aircraft which shows all sorts of useful information for the pilot including the flight vector, altitude, terrain description and engine performance. There is also a navigational display showing our flight plan. After a very interesting take-off (crossing a road and a herd of cows!), we’re finally up in the snowy Alps, initially at a height of 10,000 feet.
During the flight I have the thrilling experience of briefly taking control of the plane, adjusting the angle of the nose and witnessing the PC-24’s intelligent systems automatically adjusting the throttle.
I also get a demonstration of the anti-stall feature, with the aeroplane acting to correct a too steep angle of attack to prevent an engine stalling event. My pilot demonstrates the Dutch roll, a flight manoeuvre almost like swimming, with rolling and moving from side to side at the same time.
I also feel the squeeze as I am exposed to high G forces created by the touch and go manoeuvre and higher banking angles.
All in all, it was a terrific treat to be able to take this tranquil flight within Switzerland and learn so much at the same time. I’d like to thank Matthew for all of his useful instruction. What did you guys think of the video? Let me know what you thought of the experience down in the comments section below and, as always, thanks for watching.
The Pilatus PC-24 was developed from the PC-12 model, with work starting in 2007 and the first aeroplanes being delivered in February 2018. The aims for this new PC-24 model were increased range and speed but with the retention of the aircraft’s key ability to land on uneven and unusual terrain. The aeroplane is powered by two Williams FJ44 turbofan engines.
The aeroplane can accommodate up to eight passengers and can be flown with either a one or two man crew. The plane is about 55 feet long and has a swing span of almost 56 feet and can cruise at a maximum of 506 mph with a range of about 2,200 km with a 2,500 lb payload.
As of April 2019, the fleet of 25 Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Business jets has logged more than 4000 flight hours with the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, Swiss airline Premium Jet AG and American Plane Sense and Western Aircraft all making use of the aeroplane.

Not only is it amazing you get to fly with a test pilot, but also in switzerland with that beautiful scenery and high mountains!! im jealous!!! what a ride!!
The scenery in Switzerland is definitely a bonus!
You should try to land in LSGS !
Of course he should enjoy it
Are u tryna say should have tried flying around Bhutan?😂
Pilot: my job is to keep us clear of traffic.
Plane: Traffic! Traffic! Climb! Climb!
Matthew Hartkop the Pilot. He is actually my neighbour in Hergiswil Switzerland. ;-)
Grüess us buochs ;)
Tell him to initiate his TH-cam channel
hergiswil beste👍🏻
Next time you chat with him feel free to let him know lots of random Internet folks are jealous of his day job. :)
Amazing
Sam, this was a once in a lifetime experience. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Kudos to Pilatus for inviting you on this adventure.
agree with you! Once in a lifetime experience!
When it comes to private jets, the Pilatus - 24 stands out BIG time due to all the outstanding features it comes with. For many years the PC - 12 was my "dream plane" until this baby arrived. As a pilot, it is on my bucket list. BIG thanks to Captain Matthew Hartkop for great presentation of the various systems and more. Also BIG thanks to Mr. Sam Chui for making this video possible. You sure have some great contact in your sleeve. Made my day !
P-24 and Phenom 300E
PC-24 has unique utility, but Phenom 300E is substantially faster and cheaper both to purchase and to operate. Both have approximately the same range. If Honda can actually achieve claimed numbers for the Echelon (formerly known as HondaJet 2600), it'll likely depress the value of the Phenom 300E, but the PC-24's unique utility should help it hold value. If I had $14 million burning a hole in my wallet, I'd drop it on the PC-24. More than ~2000nm range in a light jet isn't of great utility in my opinion for the same reason more than ~3.5 hours of range in an electric vehicle isn't terribly useful, folks need to use the restroom and light jet lavatories aren't terribly comfortable and private.
Best video ever. The pilot is bloody professional. This aircraft is awesome. I saw you enjoyed every moment 😁
The pilot has a nice name "fish" ;)
Sam Chui 🤣 cool
This was a fantastic vlog Sam. I think that anyone who is scared of flying would feel comforted by this video, as the test pilot is explaining everything that is going to happen so you can anticipate it in your body, rather than stuck back in your seat feeling turns, assent, descent and changes in engine noise etc and wondering if it’s normal. Thanks again.
Wow, beautiful area to fly! The PC-24 is definitely my bucket list airplane to fly someday. Awesome vid
Its Steveo!!
i know Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my password. I love any assistance you can offer me
@David Patrick instablaster =)
@Joshua Rogelio i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Joshua Rogelio It worked and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you really help me out !
Switzerland is really wonderful. Amazing nature, amazing culture and people. And they make great airplanes.
Mathew the pilot should have his own channel ! Great commentary from him ! Awesome video !!
Agreed
Glad I subscribed to this channel, royal flying doctors here in Australia have 3 PC-24s at the moment.
The unique side door on PC-24 is a top choice for Medevac operator such as RFDS in Australia!
@@SamChui sam are you on twitter? As I might send a news story about the introduction of pc24 in the outback.(if your interested)
thats my favorite aircraft, i cant belive you made video with that aircraft, nice Sam !
Pilot Sam Chui! Know we all love the Falcon 8x.. But now you can agree that Pilatus is professional grade and we can land that sucker almost anywhere in the world!
Just ask the Royal Flying Doctor service! Great job my man! You did great job! Cheers from USA! Now we have to get you up in a bush plane!!!!!
Sam, thank you so much for making and sharing this video!!! This is no doubt one of your best flight reports. What a beautiful airplane! As a former aeronautical/aerospace engineering student, I understand and truly appreciate all the maneuvers that the test pilot performed. Besides, the test flight was conducted against the backdrop of the beautiful Swiss Alps -- Switzerland is one of my favorite countries in the world, which I have visited several times. Given my background, I must say that this is the video in your collection that I enjoy the most so far.
I agree, well, I'm a bit bias as I have lived most of my life Switzerland 😁
What an excellent pilot, constantly giving info and training. I believe he could even teach me. Sam, please have him on again if possible.
Hi Sam.
Great video,what a nice jet to fly around the Alps in Switzerland and,great scenic views too.Thankyou Sam once again,great video.☺👍👍
Finally, we get to see the PC 24 Sam's version, HaHa. Wonderful. Swiss Machine. Thx for the Ride Sam. Wow!!! Thx to Pilatus too, Namaste frm Nepal. Miss those Flying Porters Once upon a time in Nepal Himalayas.
Wow! A lot respect to the pilot! That’s a lot of info to process while piloting.
Best video so far, love it that Sam takes the time to record these types of experiences
WOW Sam such an amazing video! Matthew is a wonderful pilot. You are so fortunate to be able to have these experiences. Thank you for sharing with us!!
Beautiful scenery, beautiful jet, excellent test pilot and great video as always ! Thanks Sam and Matthew, for sharing this amazing ride ! 🇺🇸🛫
Wow!! Incredible. Took my breath away. Thanks Sam.
By far, the best PC-24 video out there. There were just so many "wow" moments for me watching, all the way up to the end when ground ops advised at being roughly 3200' MSL. (Initially I didn't believe him, suspecting he may had confused feet for meters--nope!) In my neck of the woods (CO), you would need to be at about 9000-10,000' to have terrain like that. I hear how challenging Aspen is to land out (I've witnessed the aftermath of a G IV that faltered) but I dare say Gstaad seems way trickier with much narrower and shorter valleys. Anway, great video; thanks for letting me live vicariously through you on this one! 😁😁😁
Has to be one your BEST!! Brilliant stuff Sam...well done !!
Stunning machine in wonderful scenery. Great design of Pilatus. It's very promising aircraft. Thanks for sharing, Sam!
Very, very cool! PC-24 extreme flying. What a unique flight experience!
What a GREAT flight! And what a wonderful airplane. Fabulous pilot. Thank you, Pilatus and Sam!
Normally, I fly broomsticks (read ULM) all in a sudden I am a big fan of the Pilatus PC-24. A big bravo for Swiss Pilatus engineering!!!!
Looked like an amazing experience, the jet, the scenery, awesome looking approaches, all it,, thanx for taking us along
Great content, and very wise Pilatus marketing, well done guys!!! You are really out of the box thinking and doing
I agree, Pilatus is doing a great job, especially now as they just opened the order book again for the PC-24.
Awesome video Sam, and that beautiful view, the test pilot is very professional in his executions and testing the plane. Thanks for the video, Sam.
Saanen is where the iconic bollywood movie DDLJ was shot, notice the river, bridge and the railway station on the approach to the Saanen Airfield. I have been to Saanen but never realised there was an airfield next to the railway station. Thanks Sam for the video.
I'm a long-time fan of Pilatus and your channel Sam. Great teamwork! Pilatus can proudly add your video to their company portfolio as a great complementary production. The test pilot Matthew Hartkop perfectly synchronized his narration with each precisely executed maneuver, while also providing commentary on the gorgeous location where this exception aircraft is designed and produced. A complete package; the "Super Versatile Jet", with a "Super Versatile Pilot", and our "Super Versatile Host/Co-Pilot"!
That is an amazing plane - thanks for sharing your experience in it!
Love that aircraft. Amazing experience Sam 👍🏻
That's what you'll experience flying the best of the best. I'm happy for you Sam!
I see these test flights when I walk home from school. They’re very entertaining from the ground. 🇨🇭
One of the best video you ever filmed Sam thank you I love this.
Hi Sam, This was one of your best video I relay the aircraft is amazing the view the quality of the video I really enjoyed it
The scenery was gorgeous!!
Wow, what an awesome and exciting Video, what a beautiful Plane and Cockpit.
I was born and grow up in Switzerland before I moved to Asia, and I know all this places, and I'm a addicted Aviation lover.
I love all Your videos, it's always the pure Joy, the joy of flying and and so much joy of life,
thanks a lot Sam ❤️
A stall warning/stick shaker, bank angle warning, a go around, a TCAS RA and set off the GPWS all in one flight!
Damn, really got your moneys worth!
One of your best videos yet Sam! I'm a huge fan of Pilatus and this was awesome to see from a different perspective other than the commercials.
thank you!
This was such a fun video! Thank you for giving us such variety in your content!
Just amazing! This guy has the best job
What a piece of engineering! The most versatile jet
Swiss Made 🇨🇭
BEST VIDEO EVER!!!! Just love that pc-24.
One of your best videos ever Sam, what an experience that must've been for you, from the other side of the cockpit door. As a pilot, I really loved the views from over Switzerland and the PC-24 displays are amazing, great Test Pilot demo Matthew.
Again, best job ever. Can’t stop watching Mr Sams videos.
Best video I have ever seen from you Sam! THANKS!!! Great idea from PILATUS as well!
I really enjoyed watching this. Including the view of a lot of technical details. Looking forward to more videos like this.
First-rate visual instrumentation and perfect weather in difficult terrain with great views from the cockpit.
Great video showcasing the unique capabilities of the PC-24. Thanks.
Fantastic video so much information and more in-depth on the actual flight loved it thank you for sharing Sam
Your best video yet Sam. Thankyou.
Pilatus PC-24 Jet the best aircraft in the world ❤
Thanks for the quality of the video again 👍
This was an absolutely fantastic video! Good Job Sam! 👍🏾😃
That in flight acceleration was incredible! And i really like the 'hood' over the engine exhaust for some reason.
PC24 very capable and obedient jet , I am definitely getting one
Nice cockpit view. Thanks sam for making this video.
Beautiful plane, great scenery and I am sure it was fun flying.
Gorgeous landscape! 🙌
Great to see u flying in cockpit..
It was really amazing to fly such DC aircraft ,I wish to fly one such in future.. really great I appreciate it.
That was awesome! Bet it felt good to take the controls. Love the displays and that interior looked luxurious..and that scenery...wow!!
Wow Sam. This is one of your best videos. Would love to see more like this!
Wow what a thrill! So cool seeing things from the cockpit perspective.
Lifetime opportunity. Loved it Sam
Wow so cool ! I would have loved to experience this!
Lovely video !!! Beautiful aircraft !
Hello Sam, next time you come to Switzerland, come by for a coffee. Thanks for sharing with us all those amazing videos, hope to meet you one day, your sincerely, Laurent
I was waiting so long for this
Beautiful panorama of the alps. Thx for the video.
I absolutely love this video thank you👍🏻👍🏻❤️
Amazing experience! I can only imagine performing these maneuvers over mountainous terrain like this. I guess that’s one advantage of a jet! 😁
A family friend of mine recently purchased one of those aircraft. Have yet to ride with him but, have been told it is an amazing plane to fly!
Fantastic video. Enjoyed watching it very much. Awesome scenery!!
Gorgeous. Beautiful. Awesome!!!
Pilatus absolutely my favourite designers/manufacturers of civilian aircraft
One of my favorite videos
Beautiful demo of a gorgeous aircraft’s capability!
Amazing plane, awesome scenery, fantastic pilot !
Great plane and great demonstration flight, thank's
Enjoyed this video very much . Such a refreshing change from your usual offerings in the palatial surrounds of Premier class cabins , which most of us will never travel in , however , “ extreme G forces” it was not . 2 G hardly justifies that description , but I suppose it entices viewers and ultimately dollars in your pocket. Your reaction to the bank angle was definitely worthy of an Oscar .
Beautiful scenic views
Wow that was great ❤️🙌🏼
Enjoyed a lot and knew many new things too 😌
Thanks a lot Mr. Sam Chui 😌😉
Lots of love and hope to see more wonderful videos like this 🙂🙆🏻♂️
Merci Pilatus, Merci Sam!!! Super Nice, i love this Plane!
Impressed by the aircraft
Wow!! Super awesome video! Really enjoyed it!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
great video bro
Insane, your videos are awesome 👌. Keep it up.
Excellent video sam!
Your best video yet, Sam!
Stunning scenery!!
I have a friend that owns one of these lovely beasts and they are absolutely impeccable!
The best video ever recorded Hope one day you become a pilot and god bless you and your family Sam chui ❤️
That cockpit layout is fantastic. Enjoyed, especially the full stop landing. "Sink rate sink rate. Pull up Pull up"! :)
Great video! My nephew pilots a PC-24 out of Baton Rouge. Sweet aircraft.
Wow! Great to see the PC24 in action. Fantastic aircraft, fantastic scenery, awesome video, awesome pilot. The PC24 seems as docile as the PC12. Thank you so much Sam. Can you please do one in an Phenom 300 and PC12NG!
Wow! Wonderful! I have flewn a lot of flight simulators and RC planes and once I had the opportunity to take the controls of a Piper Cherokee. This video was just like a dream. What a great guy and instructor the pilot was. Please try to do more videos like this. You're a lucky guy being able to do things like this Sam!
Cheers fron Sweden, Anders
It looks really cozy in that nice modern cockpit!
That view from above is breathtaking
The scenery is so perfect, it looks like a simulation!
Switzerland IS a simulation, didn't you know ?
