I never did it in the aircraft, but flew the 1900D full motion Sim single pilot. It adds a bit more work, but it's manageable. Respect for the weather!
I'm a regular into Tune and laughed to see Kid Rock's jet on the ramp when you pulled in - it's easily recognizable for the huge middle finger on the tail.
Great video and a tough flight. Although being a line guy in that crap also sucks. I spent 28 years with Atlantic Aviation. From line guy to GM. But not in Nashville. I hope you’re not at Signature! 😢
Love these vids, definitely subscribing! I'm a CFII out of Purdue but spent the first 10 years of my life in Knoxville so I fly in to DKX frequently in my 1969 Arrow. How many hours does it take to fly a King Air PIC like you're doing?
The hours will depend on your insurance company and the type of King Air you fly. The insurance company will want you to attend a school for initial training like Flight Safety or SimCom, among others. Depending on your multi-engine/turbine experience, the insurance company may want you to have an experienced King Air pilot riding with you for X number of hours before they will give you the green light to fly single pilot pic. I realize this is 7 months late but I hope it helps! Blue skies!
Think of it as a reference temperature the manufacturer uses to help the pilot identify engine limitations and operations, similar to an EGT or CHT gauge you may see in a piston aircraft. ITT stands for "Interstage Turbine Temperature", as in between the first and second stages of the engine. To break it down more, stages refer to the "compressor stage", and the "turbine stage". Here's a nice basic outline of common turboprop definitions you may find helpful...airplaneacademy.com/torque-itt-np-and-ng-explained-on-turboprop-engines/
@@AuditRecon Yeah, we have a temp that we're watching out for. If we see it begin to rise above what's expected, we'll immediately terminate the fuel. Luckily the actual start limit is MUCH higher than the normal operating limit. I've personally never seen it even reach the operating limit of 805 degrees. I'm not sure which pt6 is in the TBM but I reckon his limits are pretty similar.
Good Morning. You just popped up in my feed. I haven't heard the word McKellar in years. I was a Center controller @ ZME in the late 70's and that was one of my sectors. I was also flying for one of the FBO's in MEM. I was just beginning the transition from BE-58's to the BE-90's when I transferred to ZMA and quit flying. Thanks for the memories.
NICE job... Thanks for the memories!! HEY, the turbulence just covers up your mistakes.... I always appreciated it on checkrides. My favorite - Turbulence story - back in 1978, hauling the mail from Vegas to Reno in a 402. From Beatty northbound, all the way to touchdown, constant severe. Shut the autopilot off, heading within 30 degrees of desired, and anywhere from 15,100 to 10,800 while trying to maintain 12,000. Add to that, wave action off the Sierra's, T-storms, snow and ice.... Separated the men from the boys on that flight!!
@@dethray1000 OKay.... If you live/fly out of Bishop, I need say no more. It doesn't take more than one trip across the Owens Valley to learn what the words - Turbulence, wind shear and mountain wave action - truly mean! What I would catch on V-105, originated at your house. At the end of that flight, I'm turning base over Sparks on a visual to 16Right, when tower radios: "Casino six-twenty-five, had a Falcon Fanjet land forty-five minutes ago and report Seventy knot windshears on final!" Came out of it 100 feet AGL and made the best landing of my life! Out of curiosity, did you ever meet a guy named Tom Brucks? He's got thousands of hours in King Airs.... Known Tom since we were controllers together in Vietnam in the 60s.
Heck yeah man! I’ll make sure you’re the first person to receive some free stuff if I ever get a sponsor lol. Appreciate the support truly. Hope you enjoy what’s to come.
Remember severe turbulence is loss of control, controls stop to stop with no reaction. The reason the controller ask if any injuries. Moderate chop yes.
Nice flyin man any chance on some of your following videos you can have that side camera focus in on the panel once in awhile so us AV geeks can see your numbers? Thanks!
Hi sir 1st time to your channel. Well done. Only one question/comment. The PIREP On turbulence. Isn't sever turbulence where you cannot control the aircraft such as needing to make full deflections of the flight controls to correct or it corrects it's self? You bag in the R seat stayed right where it was. Yes, the two bumps were abrupt and I'm sure you felt your seatbelt some. Your unsecured bag could have been dangerous in sever turbulence. What I saw I would have reported at light with occasional moderate bumps. It certainly was not sustained. Your airmanship a communications are very professional.
You are correct. In hindsight, I probably should have reported it as moderate. That being said. Severe turbulence is defined as; Severe turbulence causes large and abrupt changes in altitude and/or attitude and, usually, large variations in indicated airspeed. I had a pretty dramatic change in airspeed that almost resulted in an over speed condition. You can somewhat see this on the right side indicator. That being said, looking back, perhaps moderate would have been more appropriate. I don’t often fly with my bag next to me and I’ll be sure to keep an eye on loose articles in the future. I appreciate your critique. Always learning!
Okay, I'm hooked. I appreciate the callouts/labels every time you push a button or turn a knob. I'll bet that takes a lot more work that most of us viewers realize. I also appreciate the quiet fly-along where we can hear all of the ATC interactions without interruption. Fly-n-talk videos are nice, too, but I find it distracting when a pilot's narration is covered by a deluge of ATC in the background. One idea might be to add voiceovers in post where you can either pause the video to explain something or at least choose radio-quiet times to interject. Hard to say whether that would be better or worse than just yakking away in real time during the flight. Choices! :-)
I don’t actually believe that to be true. Most pilots are giving reports in MSL, and then ATC will translate it from there if needed. It makes sense if you think about it. If you’re flying an approach, wouldn’t you just want the actual flown altitude that the last pilot broke out at? For further guidance on “Reporting of Cloud heights to ATC”, see AIM 7-1-14.
As the others have commented, I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach. Great video with great sounds.
Appreciate the feedback. Would you like to see more explanation type content during non critical phases of flight ?
I wish my car had windscreen wipers that were this good
Rain-X ?
Single pilot operation in a King Air and the weather not so nice,respect Sir,well done.!!
Thank you Michael!
I never did it in the aircraft, but flew the 1900D full motion Sim single pilot. It adds a bit more work, but it's manageable. Respect for the weather!
We didn't have autopilot though, we had to hand fly it.
Cool video. I really like the popups showing what you are doing!
Glad you like them!
I'm a regular into Tune and laughed to see Kid Rock's jet on the ramp when you pulled in - it's easily recognizable for the huge middle finger on the tail.
Great video. It's all about the flight, your piloting competence and the comfort of your passenger(s). Nice job.
I watched this video and never once saw a hint of “severe” turbulence. Not even close according to the definition.
Just subscribed. Love your no BS approach to the video. I imagine passenger did not enjoy that flight.
Finally!! A decent king air youtuber!! Keep it up brother and safe flights!!
Thank you! More on the way.
Great video, but am I the only one who thinks this guy looks like AJ Soprano? 🙂
Haha. “Wow, I must suck being you”
LOL I thought the same thing
That was good, not even close to "severe" turbulence though. Just saying. Very professional pilot.
Great landing 💪🏾😎
What is the app for the check list?
I really like your videos post some more when you can
I recorded one tonight. Stay tuned!

hey im in Knoxville, lol, just starting my aviation journey though.
Great videos! Subscribed, bell rung, looking forward to more!
I fly EMS in Tennesse, that female controller at MKL is always so nice. Great videos!
I miss flying turbo props. I would love to to one day go back doing this when I retire from the button pushing airline job
Nice!!!! Awesome video and it caught that turbulence on camera.
Great video! King air rocks! Cheers from Brazil.
Subbed. I like the idea of the little banner that pop up telling us what buttons you push. Still trying to understand ITT.

Are they calling you “Fore Flight”? Thats what it sounds like. Never mind! “45902”. I’m an idiot.

My company has a King Air that shuttles employees all around the country. Very nice planes!
Love these kinds of vids. Subbed.
Great one! Almost some "abort bumps" there. Joke aside, very informative vid. Thank you -
Good stuff, bother! I miss flying the mighty 90. Hopefully someday soon I'll find something... Nice work! Keep at it! Subbed! 🤙🏽
I think you accidentally selected " rough ride mode "
LOL
Which 90 is this and can you give your thoughts on the C90, E, and F. Best value for price?

Haha... I don't think that "Smooth ride mode" works, put that on the chit. 😂
That’s why if you were flying a big boy jet like a lear jet or a citation X you can get way above the turbulence
I never saw him use a checklist. Even the best pilots use checklists.
Great upgrades as of Avionics really make single Pilot work load a lot better
Excellent video. Thank you for filming and posting
Great Video!! The King Air is my favorite plan of all!!
such a great job is certainly challenging conditions
Thank you for sharing.. Looking nice...
King Air video = Subs. Thanks!
is this the marginal VFR ive been hearing about on the tv? 😁
My advice is not leave backpack or flight bag in the seat next to you, a good bump might send it onto the yoke.
Lesson learned!

Well, at least you had that spectacular view.
sweet vid! do u have the blackhawk 135 A engines?
Yes I do
@@KingAirGuyTV sweet! My dad flies the same plane with the 135-A engines!
thery need an intermintant setting on those windshield wipers . hah
I used to fly a 200 N200TP for Alpine Aviation in KRFD and I sure do miss it! Good video Sir!!
I love Rockford😂
Hope you got the big breakfast
Kid Rocks airplane at 36:29
How in the hell can you see through that😮😮
What does the Smooth Ride Mode do and how does it work?
Awesome video, great camera angle.
Hoe do you add the calouts in yr video’s?
Didn’t know you could start with left engine first. Cool!!
I like to alternate engine starts.
What iPad mini mount do you use
Thanks King Air Guy
Remember severe turbulence is loss of control, controls stop to stop with no reaction. The reason the controller ask if any injuries. Moderate chop yes.
where did you take off from though
you should do a night flight
New here, like your set up! I swear all center controllers sound like the same dude everywhere!
Looks like contour FBO at tune. Cool people. Same weather. Nice flying brother.
Waht kind of work pad are you using?
ForeFlight on an IPad mini.
Don’t let that GoPro block your forward visibility, especially single pilot😎
Is that forflight (sp) running on the tablet?
It is. Maybe they’ll sponsor me if I get a bigger iPad.
MrKeller Sipes airport? My grandfather flew PT-17 Stearman for his 1st phase flying at MeKeller Army Airfield. He eventually flew the P-47 The Jug
Noticed Kid Rock's Challenger on the ramp when you were taxiing in lol.
That is heavy rain.
Good-looking pilot! Nice plane. I'd like to go for a ride! Pick me up at Montgomery Field, San Diego! See ya then!

You can see the analog ASI swing about 20kts at 14:36; 2 seconds before the large jolt.
Awesome video!
My type of flight when I was on my Dual IFR cross country back in the days
CRAPPY WEATHER/SMALL PLANE===NOOO BUENO....STAY HOME TOOO DICEY
WHat model King Air is this? and year? 360ER 360 or a 260?
Probably a c90
Looks like a 350i, or 360.
This is an ‘04 C90B with the Blackhawk 135A engines.
Nice flyin man any chance on some of your following videos you can have that side camera focus in on the panel once in awhile so us AV geeks can see your numbers? Thanks!
Great video, very professional job. Kudos!
Nice video. Question, are any King Airs pressurized cabins? Not a pilot, just curious. Tnx, Merry Christmas
King Air is a pressurized cabin.
@@richm9455 thank you.
That’s a nice plane. In the clouds all the way, yet with the weather you had a smooth landing. I would fly with you anytime
Looking forward to getting together for the ride along on this IFR flight to Nashville
Loved flying King Air👨✈️
What I-pad mount are you using in the 90?
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.
Nice flight. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. MKL is my home

Really nice. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like a few potholes in the road at around 15:00 🤣

"Severe" turbulence? I don't agree.
Yeah probably more on the moderate side. I’ve had plenty of moderate before. This stuff definitely fell on the stronger side of that.
@@KingAirGuyTV Yup, but you definitely got knocked a couple of times! Nice video!!
@@KingAirGuyTV - I love how all the iPad pilots want to tell you - how strong the turbulence was, it looked pretty intense to me.
Nice flight Captain 👍🏻

Is it 9 O 2 or 902. O or zero? 20:31
Um grande profissional 👏👏👏👏
Is it safer to have the autopilot engaged or dis-engaged during that turbulence? If it’s heavy does it disengage automatically?
It’s not unsafe but the autopilot tends to overreact and make the ride even worse for the passengers.
In the soup the entire trip.
Very nice videos. I think yours are the best King Air ones on TH-cam with the obvious exception of Tom Clements. Keep up the good work!
A high compliment! Thank you.
Cool as a cucumber.
